Its really nice to see the community numbers declining, I think that another site that encourages engagement rather than whatever stackoverflow is now can flour

  If you are after engagement based Q&A, you're going to find Reddit and Facebook style systems that require a larger portion of the user base giving answers rather than "I can search it and find the answer" that Stack Overflow provides. Those sites (and they exist now) typically suffer from having enough people providing correct answers (unless they're the type who enjoy answering what a Null Pointer Exception is again and again). You can try seeing if https://www.coderanch.com/forums https://www.coderanch.com/forums fits what you are after. The library based model requires fewer people and so scales better - but it still scales. The issue with the library based model is that the curation work needs to be relatively low friction - something that Stack Overflow has been failing at.
