    Unfortunately many tech questions are on that site which help many people. I wish that lemmy becomes the primary source for tech questions and solutions.

      Reddit wasn’t a primary source at one point, it’s going to take time. Also, brave pulls top replies to questions, so you don’t have to go to reddit itself(though that might use API.

      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.

      Then you should ask and answer a lot of tech questions here. Write guides for problems you solved yourself. Lemmy will become what we make it become.

    Took me a good two weeks(I deleted my account a day before the blackout after I recorded all the saved stuff on my account), but I finally stopped typing it absent mindedly.

      Uuuuuuuuuu, that’s genius, you could brick any website like that that you want to stop using. I’m going to post this in a productivity community without crediting you! (I’m not going to do that, do you want credit?)

        This was obviously a consulting service. I charge by the word. Each word is USD 41.38 + tax. After my sales assistant received the payment you can reuse the advice as often as you like.

    I’ve noticed a large portion of the posts in Lemmy are haphazardly cropped into squares, is a Lemmy reader app in particular that does that to submitted images?
