You ask someone in slack. If that isn't sufficient, set up a small 1 on 1 meeting to discuss.

You can't avoid all meetings, but you can keep them few and small.

Now my ability to find something is limited by someone else's availability, and everywhere I've seen this culture it's devolved into the same 1-2 people answering all the questions as not everyone has a built up map of who knows what.

In long running projects, the people who know the answer may no longer be around.
