Hello David,
A good place to discuss things about Fedora is discussion.ferdoraproject.org. It is a forum designed specifically for this type of content and also lets the rest of the community see what you are trying to solve, so maybe someone else has gone through what you are having difficulty with and vice-versa.
Regards, Stephen

I have posted several emails in the past few months, that were personal in nature about my experiences with Rawhide, and various Fedora concepts or software, instead of posting about any specific way to correctly use Fedora, or to fix a bug, or to report a bug.
It has been pointed out to me that I should write these post in a different forum.
I could write them in my blog, but nobody would read that.
As an example, today was my first day to tinker with appimages and obviously my first time to tinker with them in Fedora, and in my case on Rawhide.
My first experience with appimages was unpleasant. But at the same time, I got to use the latest versions of two applications, Krita and Firefox. I am in the Firefox 81.0 appimage right now and have been for most of the evening. I had a few moments were I could not print and a few moments it seemed to have crashed. I think some of the settings vanish when I close it and re-launch it.
Is there a place on the list-server where users can rant about things in Fedora, and even complain about things.
The folks advertising appimages say it is the best invention since sliced-bread. But when I looked on the appimage hub, I did not find any applications that I wanted to run.
It would seem using appimages in Rawhide is a good example of how they can be used, as running the executable file doesn't affect the operating system, and the developers of Rawhide don't have to worry about repackaging Golden Dictionary. ( I could not get that one to work as an appimage ), but Rawhide seems to have the most recent version.
I now have about 40 man-hours running Rawhide on a Ryzen 3 1200AF ASUS X570 computer. No issues to report.
