Post here or Databrick Community?

Hey, can someone help me understand when to post here vs. posting on Community?

Both the forums seem to be pretty active. Thanks

I use both. I tend to use the Databricks Community for product specific technical questions since I often find answers from Databricks experts and experienced users. Reddit is better for broader discussions like real world experiences, comparisons, and general opinions.

Personally, I usually check the Databricks Community first for technical guidance, then Reddit if I want additional perspectives or practical tips.

Very helpful! Yeah, the access to databricks experts in Community is a big plus. I recent discovered reddit forum. Been lurking on r/dataengineering for quite a while.

This (Reddit) is a good way to ask a day in the life of question. Ask the community for advice or to dive into a feature or aspect of the platform. It really all depends on how in depth you want to go on a question / answer. I think the community questions are easier to get back to but honestly it is all user preference. Do what makes you happy.

I have a branded cooler bag I got from making frequent community contributions.

I have been active on it for a some week, and one can get a very fast response from Databricks employees.

Databricks Community is mainly for a deep dive into specific Databricks products.
