      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.

        Yep, unfortunately I still have to go to r/television on reddit to find good recommendations because the television community here is dead.

          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.

            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

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