As an example: I was doing a search for the best sesame substitute today. Everything that came up was things like, “11 Best Sesame Substitutes,” and I know for a fact that just about everything they suggested tastes nothing like sesame. Just another site trying to get hits. So I added reddit.com into my search parameters and immediately got some decent answers.
I really hate that I have to do that to get anything useful, but there is a ridiculous amount of useful information on Reddit. I hope the fediverse gets to this point as well one day.
Anway, just needed to vent. Lemmy on.
That’s a great option when we have time! But if there’s an issue I need answered within an hour, it’s unlikely it’ll be answered by then.
People answered there within the hour…
I meant for something more obscure like ‘how to use selection filters for fillet repeats in a less common cad software’. It might take a while before someone comes along who would know.
Another issue is also the diversity of responses and some kind of confirmation responses are good via up votes.
Yeah guess you just have to come to terms with not knowing any good substitutes for sesame
You remember we didn’t use to have ANY answers to our random questions provided instantly, right? No magic black mirrors in our pockets.
What are you even complaining about? You had to look at more search results than expected?
I’m not complaining, I just need to use Reddit instead of Lemmy, which I’d rather not do.
Margot Robbie, most questions won’t be answered nearly that quickly.
