What is the scope of this community?
Sure, this community is for physics. Great! But... what does that actually mean? How broad is the scope? What is considered on-topic, and what are things that the term "physics" might include, but are actually off-topic here? I looked in the [FAQ](https://physics.codidact.com/help/faq) (which I spent [a minute locating with my eyes](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/276454/290442#answer-290442)), but that is as good as useless, quite literally:

> This community is for anyone interested in physics of any type and at any level..

That's... not informative or helpful at all. It doesn't say anything about what questions I can actually post here. It doesn't list any limits.

[How to ask a great question](https://physics.codidact.com/help/how-to-ask) unfortunately only contains the generic description for any Codidact community, not anything specific to this one.

So... what is actually the scope of this community?
