Can confirm. I've been doing a lot of technical setup lately. Hardware, and niche software. Any issue I had or comparison of online services I looked for Reddit was the top result and of course I would click it because I'm burnt out and just want an answer. I'll say about a fourth of the comments on the comparison/help posts are now deleted or edited to make a statement about Reddit. Everynow and again it'd be a private sub. It was super wild. Luckily google has a cached version to view the sub in those cases.

I don't think Lemmy will ever be able to replicate that utility though. There can't be an expectation of a very specific technical post to still being around in 5 years since it'd be contingent on the instance to still exist.

If the instance is federated then the content will live on all the instances that it's federated with. Every single instance would have to go away for the content to disappear.

If anything, Lemmy is way more reliable than Reddit, which is currently controlled by a whiny crybaby making unpredictable decisions.

There are already plenty of support communities generating legitimately helpful information. I expect it to only get better.
