    Yep, unfortunately I still have to go to r/television on reddit to find good recommendations because the television community here is dead.

      Every time you look for something on Reddit, make a post about your findings here. Don’t link the Reddit, copy/paste or make an original post. This is how communities get traction.

        Genius. I’ll start doing that now every time I have to Google an obscure software issue that only reddit had the answer too.

        Exactly!

        I made a point to post here before trying a post there. Often what I’ve found is that while Reddit has a bigger userbase, the level of helpfulness is about the same. Reddit posts got more comments in total, but the number of helpful comments was about the same if not lower.

        I’ll have to start posting here when I look something up on Reddit as well

      I actually have posted here and have gotten amazing recommendations. When I was on reddit a year or two ago, that post got no comments and probably downvotes for some reason. Love the Lemmy community!
