MODERATORS
Forums are where you can still find answers to the veeeerrrryyyyy niche questions you may have on just about anything. They have saved my ass so many times when trying to get things working on my pc or with my car.
Not always, no. And often the question I have has already been answered on those forums. So no need to even post to lemmy. Have you never had to troubleshoot something before or something?
Forum users tend to prefer long-lasting discussions, which is not the case on Lemmy/Reddit, where threads are forgotten after a few days.
I will say that I find good advice on tech subreddits now and then, as good as or better than, say, support forums. That's off the divisive and rapid-change subjects that mostly characterise Reddit and Lemmy, of course.
Heck--it was designed to be like that, even Reddit archivesa thread after 6 months right?
