    It doesn’t solve the issue that the answer you’re looking for is on Reddit and isn’t accessible anymore…

    I mean, good for us for screwing up Reddit, but the transition impacts more than just Reddit itself because subreddits are going private and people are deleting their posts, that’s a whole lot of knowledge just disappearing from the internet overnight and that’s never a good thing! I don’t know how many times I tried to find solutions or answers to tech related questions and the only place I could find an actual answer was on Reddit because it was actual people speaking to each other!

      Yeah, for the short term. But the long term if lemmy can become the successor. It won’t be long until it get will get back to normal

        It took ten years for Reddit to reach that point, that’s a whole lot of info that people probably won’t talk about again but that might concern some people, just not as many as when the subject was new.

        Example, my soundbar has technical issues when plugged in a certain way and that can be solved through some settings on the TV, the only answer I found was on Reddit on a sub that is now locked down. That soundbar isn’t for sale anymore and hasn’t been for a couple of years, so now I’m have to troubleshoot the issue by myself if I ever unplug it and if I sell it to someone when I upgrade then they’re shit out of luck 🤷
