My favorite reddit search result story: I asked a question once on Reddit, got no answer, figured it out on my own, then added my solution to the thread because I've been saved countless times by the guy that does that on the internet and I wanted to pay it forward. A couple years later, I have the same problem and remember solving it but don't remember how, search it and find my own answer.
This distils down basically every quality of reddit you need to know.
- the-dude 6y agoI have more or less the same story, but then about DejaNews.
- sideshowb 6y agoI did exactly that on stackoverflow
- xwdv 6y agoThis must be what time travel feels like.
- koheripbal 6y agoUnless it's a non-tech issue, I'd recommend Stack Exchange for those types of things. The issue with Reddit is that they lock all threads over a year old which makes them a poor mechanism to keep updated answers to questions.
