    I wish that lemmy becomes the primary source for tech questions and solutions.

    I wish that those tech solutions get tidied/filtered/cleaned (by removing the noise) and moved to some sort of wiki, or “information plaza”.

    Don’t get me wrong, I like Lemmy; but I don’t think that forums are a good long-term storage for practical info. The very fact that people were relying on Reddit for that was already a symptom of something in this regard missing.

        With all their flaws, wikis have been consistently a good way to store long-term information of public access. They’re usually tidier and easier to archive.

        Nothing prevents however this information from being created in forums and stored in wikis though. Lemmy could have some role on the creation; I just don’t think that people should beeline for Lemmy when seeking knowledge, they should seek first and foremost interaction here.
