I have found Reddit misses much more than hits when I was on there pre-Lemmy.

On topics where I have deep knowledge, I was drown out by people with a wrong answer and more karma. Once on something I was literally the creator of.

I can only assume other topics I know less about were the same way. It really makes me doubt what I see on Reddit. I assume ai and bots did not improve that.

For niche information I am actually going back to targeted web boards. While Lemmy is less entertaining, I have gotten some good quality information as well as conversation.
