    When looking something up, especially technical product information the best answer is still often a reddit link. That will change in the future but it will take time.

    Old.reddit is the only way yo access this information without account but i paradoxically cant wait for them to shut it down cause the quicker reddit completely dies the faster other places will become knowledge hubs.

        lol. And you know they won’t be fixing their own search engine any time soon. Its like they want their site to die jfc.

      Ehhh, even for that I’ve had issues, even before the API stuff. The solutions I came across either came from casual word of mouth on Discord, tutorials on GitHub or forums other than Reddit.

        It never was the pinnacle of knowledge, i am not on many different forums and only in the last year have started to avoid internet search where possible but often neither google or bing have satisfying results with only a single reddit link that may have the answer.

          I’ll happily take wild speculation by actual people over the ai written seo garbage that most other results are nowadays. the former might not have the answer themselves but they often send me down the right rabbit hole to find it
