Pretty much the question, Does it have better help than Reddit?

84 points

Probably not yet.

Reddit has over a decade of content on it, from a much bigger userbase.

Had. A good deal of it is gone now, some of it forever.

If by a good chunk you mean <0.1% of their content, I agree. The majority of Reddit users did not care to migrate, and many that did migrate didn’t delete their old content

I thought they only deleted chat content, not public posts.

I think they meant the users that deleted/edited their comments/posts last month before migrating here / elsewhere

Good, the less traffic Reddit gets the better. If someone has a question then the answer can get reposted, or WayBack can be checked. So long as Reddit doesn’t get the web traffic.

Yeah that is a fair point, hopefully as it seems like people on Lemmy & Kbin are more active than Reddit users, we should hopefully see these communities grow a lot more to the point of passing Reddit numbers.

No lol. Reddit has a near 20 year headstart.

Yeah 20 years worth of content helps, I really do hope we end up with it all on here and people prefer using Kbin / Lemmy in the future.

Depends on your topic. Have a question about a specific video game? Still going to have to go to reddit to ask. More general purpose? Those we can field.

Thanks, Guess we need to grow our Gaming community more on the platform. Maybe I’ll try and contribute to the current games I’m playing and find the communities for them.

This is somwthing I miss the most - all of the games having their subs. There are some here, but not many of those I’d like to follow more closely.

Yeah, just found a GTAV community, Great that I could join it but sadly there’s only like 4 posts in there at the moment.

Are there communities for them that are deaf or bone at all? You could start some and seed them a little.

I tried asking a question on both Reddit and Lemmy and got more helpful answers from the Lemmy post.

That’s good to know, Guess a lot of the people who write helpful information has decided to use Lemmy instead.

I think I’ve only had one interaction which was needlessly hostile here; everyone else is lovely and just happy to be here in a place which you can still see the value of a smaller user base.

Yeah, I do hope if this place grows it does stay happy and doesn’t get hostile

For troubleshooting, I still turn to reddit. This is just unfortunate reality of:

  1. Massive community
  2. Very old website
  3. Google search algorithm

But I am confident tides will shift to lemmy sooner or later. And if I am unable to find answer on reddit, I’m sure I’m gonna ask it here not on reddit.

Yeah I seem to get a lot of quick answers on here and they seem to be very good, reddit still has good answers but are normally slower on the active answering compared to Lemmy / Kbin

No Stupid Questions

!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Create post

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
