Pretty much the question, Does it have better help than Reddit?

    Reddit has over a decade of content on it

    Had. A good deal of it is gone now, some of it forever.

      If by a good chunk you mean <0.1% of their content, I agree. The majority of Reddit users did not care to migrate, and many that did migrate didn’t delete their old content

      I thought they only deleted chat content, not public posts.

        I think they meant the users that deleted/edited their comments/posts last month before migrating here / elsewhere

          I see. A tragedy, but understandable. Hopefully the most important things have been saved via Wayback Machine or similar.

            I see the point but I’d personally rather start asking the questions, whose answers have been deleted off of Reddit, here to build up a new (hopefully fireproof) Library of Alexandria.

            For me personally for mundane-ish questions, searching the web-archive for a snapshot that still had the answer is too much a hassle and not as future proof. If a snapshot of that specific question even existed in the first place.

            I do have to say that I’ve seen such replaced comments at least 3 times in the wild by now which is way more than I expected at first. It’s a loss for sure but I do have to appreciate that some people actually followed through to such an extend.

            A lot is probably still out there, but not from a simple search since those hits were based on the original Reddit page and some of that is now gone.

      Good, the less traffic Reddit gets the better. If someone has a question then the answer can get reposted, or WayBack can be checked. So long as Reddit doesn’t get the web traffic.
