    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.

      Genius. I’ll start doing that now every time I have to Google an obscure software issue that only reddit had the answer too.

      Yeah I do that from time to time. Go go my local geographical community and find the hottest posts and bring them here.

      Exactly!

      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.
