    This is true for the their frontpage at least. Many say it wasn’t a good knowledge base, I feel like it was. Specially for those who starting hobbies or running into issues. Also the most random knowledge would show up there.

    If you were using it to get facts to form an opinion, I would say it wasn’t the best but then again, that style of research is difficult even without reddit.

    I miss the good quality reads I’d get from it, but Lemmy is now that filler for me.

      Agreed. But if you wanted human opinions on say, a specific brand a vacuum, 👌

      I never saw a top-voted comment in my fields of expertise that was even remotely correct. Reddit as a “knowledge base” is shit.
