Choosing between RStudio Community OR StackOverflow OR Research Computing Q&A site for posting a question

This intention of this thread is two-fold:

  • In the context R and/or RStudio, creating guidance for our community choosing which of several sites to ask their questions that involve R and/or RStudio. Some questions have a Research Computing flavor, and other questions are generic help on that would be better answered by the wider R or StackOverflow communities.

  • To link together our discussion here with the RStudio Community Q&A site. See this thread on their site that I posted: Choosing between this RStudio Community OR StackOverflow OR Research Computing Q&A site for posting a question

Also relevant: What questions should be "in scope" or "out of scope" for the RC Q&A site?
