    Reddit/Lemmy just leads to the same questions getting repeated again and again because it’s easier to ask again

    A simple search often finds the same (or similar) questions that were asked recently, but some people don’t want to be bothered with that.

      The fact that there’s no bumping means that the most popular questions don’t start at the top unless they’re stickied, they just keep getting asked again and again even more often than on forums where it was already an issue.

      Moderation needs to be much more involved on a Reddit style platform.
