I’ll try to dial back my time on lemmy because I’ve noticed that I spend way, way more time here than I ever did back on reddit

    I have to admit. Reddit can be handy for finding solutions from other people for problems.

    I wish Lemmy was comparable for this purpose. Perhaps someday.

      Reddit definitely used to be! But sadly thanks to reddit, I think we’re seeing the damage from a disappearing internet when a lot of people mass-deleted their posts and it affects technical pages.

      How do I fix this really niche technical issue?

      Toasters lollypops groundhogs sport icecube I have scrambled all my reddit posts with a script because reddit sucks and Spez sucks.

      Thanks! That’s EXACTLY what I needed! I’ve been looking everywhere for this solution. Have a gold, internet stranger sir/madame. I hope anybody else who has this issue comes here first so they don’t spend as long as I did before I saw your post!

        Yeah, it took Reddit many years to become the treasure trove of information it became. I think Lemmy could get there eventually as various instances build up a larger archive of posts.

      reddit also recently got pretty bad, because they keep updating thier filters, or restrictions, or evasion detection. new and old users are the most susceptible to bans. and i read recently reddit has been automatically removing posts for no reason at all(but gearing the site to GOP friendly administration), with high rate of frequency without MOD input/or discussion.

      I do feel bad for the few users that have found some niche lemmy communities and asked a genuine question, only to get no replies. If it were in my sphere of knowledge I would answer them.

        I try to join communities that have some of my hobby interests, even if super small, for exactly that reason. It can make someone’s day! :)
