Website similar to reddit where we can post questions individually instead of being asked to use a sticky thread or gets removed for "low effort content"?

I first started liking reddit because i could make a post, have no kickback from mods and generate healthy discussion from its members. Nowadays, there are still some but it is getting increasingly difficult to find subs that don't have auto removal with 10+ vague rules, or mods simply don't like questions so they corral ALL questions into a sticky thread, or downright just do not want discussion at all... I cannot in good faith follow this site anymore, unless the specific sub is more open minded and less strictly moderated. Is there a site out there that resembles the way reddit used to be, or those days are gone, on all sites?

Try Quora and the StackExchange family of themed sites (one site per topic) to ask questions.

Good luck asking a question on StackExchange and not getting it immediately locked for being a duplicate.
Quora should not be mentioned ever. Garbage bin of the internet.

I used to be a quora user, and the people are weird

You are expected to look over prior material before posting a question on any site.

neither of those sites is designed to foster discussion.

The OP wants answers to his questions, not discussion. Besides, there's usually a decent amount of discussion over the right answer on both sites.

ask.metafilter.com is still active, though much less so than it was during its heyday.

the "question and answers" model have been tried many many times before. yahoo answers quora etc maybe some new concept could be tried that ties into the idea: a website about "problems and solutions" aiming in the end for something concrete, fixing the problem. Emphasis should be made on community problems rather than profit-oriented problems but maybe that's just me

Like you, I dislike the single question thread approaches (as its hard to track particular questions of interest), but where I did challenge it, it was pointed out to be, for the subreddit in question, the best option available
If the subreddit has lots of posts, and the single question thread gathers decent responses to every question, then it can be an acceptable way of splitting out boring repetitive questions from interesting discussions. Of course, you have to accept other people's time is every bit as valuable as yours to accept this argument.
If it's a lonely backwater subreddit and no answers ever appear on the single question thread, then yes, time to move on.

Probably not what you're looking for, but i just unsub and don't use subs like that. If they're gunna make it that impossible, then it's pretty obvious to me at that point that they'll only approve stuff they personally like that aligns to a certain narrative.
Yea I don't have time for that and the content isn't worth staying subscribed to at that point. If they're making the sub basically unusable, then there's no point in me being apart of it.
Id just create my own version of that sub and post instead of dealing with that
