The !askmeanything@lemmy.ca would be good, as would !asklemmy@lemmy.world or !casualconversation@lemm.ee. Also, I am going to gently push back on the idea that you have to make a new community because Reddit has a similar one. An AMA is not philosophically different from the posts on any of several other text-based-engagement communities. If AMA posts start to crowd out the “original” content, then a new /c is warranted, but we just fragmented everything after the APIpocalypse, and discoverability is still a pain requiring steps that shouldn’t be necessary if people just want to communicate.
I had to look it up too, but it was Victoria. She was great as a celebrity wrangler to make sure they understood the vibe and would roll with the weirdness. I’m not entirely sure we need a Victoria just yet either, LOL.

I forgot her name, but reddit used to hire a woman to manage the ama’s and that made this sub really distinct from the others.
Until they fired her… 🤷♀️
Victoria Taylor :'(

She also had a knack for capturing their speaking pattern in her transcribed replies.
