Unfortunately there’s still a lot of good, helpful documentation on Reddit that I wish was somewhere else. Even if I deleted my account last year I still have to rely on some Reddit posts to find solutions to certain problems.
I actually have posted here and have gotten amazing recommendations. When I was on reddit a year or two ago, that post got no comments and probably downvotes for some reason. Love the Lemmy community!
Every time you look for something on Reddit, make a post about your findings here. Don’t link the Reddit, copy/paste or make an original post. This is how communities get traction.
I made a point to post here before trying a post there. Often what I’ve found is that while Reddit has a bigger userbase, the level of helpfulness is about the same. Reddit posts got more comments in total, but the number of helpful comments was about the same if not lower.
I’ll have to start posting here when I look something up on Reddit as well
Definitely. I’m chronically on here all the time so I will probably see your post and try to answer to the best of my abilities if I have something useful.

Yep, unfortunately I still have to go to r/television on reddit to find good recommendations because the television community here is dead.
Is it? We are talking about [email protected] right?
Yeah. Mainly I go for the “what are you watching this week” stickied post to get an idea of what new shows might be worth trying.
Get Stremio and browse by popular. Can also install a plugin for Trakt
Love this idea
@[email protected] an Idea fore the upcoming television community

rtings.com is a great resource that’s not astroturfed to hell and back like Reddit is.
Edit: oh oops you mean shows not flat panels lol

Yep! I do this too!
Genius. I’ll start doing that now every time I have to Google an obscure software issue that only reddit had the answer too.
That’s what I do
Yeah I do that from time to time. Go go my local geographical community and find the hottest posts and bring them here.
Exactly!

So reproduce it.
This is only half serious, but reddit is usually part of LLM training Sets, so you could try your luck with ChatGPT et al.
Yeah… I don’t want to die eating something poison because some Reddit trained AI told me it was fine to eat.
Thankfully that’s not the kind of information I look for so chances of that happening are slim.
Unless you’re the type to microwave your phone to charge it on 4chan’s recommendation, I think you’re probably fine.
