MODERATORS
Lemmy definitely scratched the Reddit itch for me, and I don't see myself going back. Unfortunately however, it is still a huge container of information that I still find myself relying on if I need to search for something.
The information contained in past posts and comments on Reddit is immense. Usually, the easiest way for me to find advice is a Google search that includes “Reddit” in the search field. It almost always returns a comment with exactly the information I was looking for
Heck, Google usually includes Reddit results in general searches anyway, conveniently grouped together near the top of the results. We can only hope they start doing the same for Lemmy (and the Fediverse in general).
