Was originally thinking of posting Lenmy content on Reddit to less directly advertise Lemmy, but in the communities I follow, its almost exclusively content or already posted to, or directly originating from Reddit. This got me wondering if there were any niches that Lemmy serves better than other, larger platforms.
I don’t know about content, but the Linux and self-hosting communities on Lemmy are infinitely more helpful than the ones on Reddit.
In general, advice on tech related things is much better
Reasons may include
your question is more likely to be seen and answered
lots of older, experienced, and helpful people on the site who want to help
Also there’s far less trolls on help posts and people looking for a disagreement or a joke.
