Unfortunately there’s still a lot of good, helpful documentation on Reddit that I wish was somewhere else. Even if I deleted my account last year I still have to rely on some Reddit posts to find solutions to certain problems.
Yep, unfortunately I still have to go to r/television on reddit to find good recommendations because the television community here is dead.
Every time you look for something on Reddit, make a post about your findings here. Don’t link the Reddit, copy/paste or make an original post. This is how communities get traction.
Exactly!
I made a point to post here before trying a post there. Often what I’ve found is that while Reddit has a bigger userbase, the level of helpfulness is about the same. Reddit posts got more comments in total, but the number of helpful comments was about the same if not lower.
I’ll have to start posting here when I look something up on Reddit as well
Is it? We are talking about !television@lemmy.world right?
Yeah. Mainly I go for the “what are you watching this week” stickied post to get an idea of what new shows might be worth trying.
rtings.com is a great resource that’s not astroturfed to hell and back like Reddit is.
Edit: oh oops you mean shows not flat panels lol
This is only half serious, but reddit is usually part of LLM training Sets, so you could try your luck with ChatGPT et al.
Yeah… I don’t want to die eating something poison because some Reddit trained AI told me it was fine to eat.
Thankfully that’s not the kind of information I look for so chances of that happening are slim.
