        Still, when I’m looking for a solution for a specific problem, reddit is basically the only reliable source at the moment.

        Wish there was a quick way to search for posts across all instances using search engines.

          Reddit has years of community data. Lemmy will get there one day as long as we keep at it.

      I don’t actively use it either, but sometimes you’re trying to fix some esoteric error that no one has experienced since the existence of the Western Roman Empire and the only place where a solution exists is Reddit. In those cases I kinda have to visit that wretched hive.

        Same. However, I have rarely been able to solve a technical problem with Reddit posts or comments. It’s a better source for random experiences about something.

        For random technical problems with new software or hardware, Reddit quality is not as good as it used to be, IMHO.

        For somewhat niche hobbies, like my mushroom growing, subjective experiences may be helpful to take into account. Reading dozens of different opinions about a problem in a hobby that has hundreds of different variables has its uses. (For example, if you want to test something specific, you can get an idea about the range of conditions to test.)

    A big part of getting you to use their app is to data mine EVERYTHING about you. Unlike a web browser with an ad-blocker, an app can collect your location, location history, your call logs, your contact list and serve up unlockable ads.
