More and more answers to be found here, I discovered !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip recently, quite nice

Find the answer on reddit, post here in another form. Rinse repeat.

What people here often forget is just how few people IRL even use Reddit as social media. Even those who are fairly technically minded. Like, they may even have an account that they use to converse with people about a specific matter, then when their issue is resolved they set Reddit aside and don't visit the site again for months.

Also, we know how subscriber numbers are highly inflated. Many of us had multiple accounts ourselves, to help separate different uses (e.g. a mod and non-mod account to use for testing purposes).

People not using Reddit seems odd to us because it does not match our experiences, as users of Arch btw, but it is true in the wider world.

It looks like it's #7 on the most visited list. Even a top 10 website is still pretty fucking huge (it's #7). Almost everyone in the world uses the internet, and to think it could be one of the fingers if the top 10 was put on a hand is ludicrous.

Yeah, since 695 million active accounts is not tiny. Lemmy has <40 thousand (I am personally two of those:-P).

So when I asked someone this weekend if they used Reddit, they had heard of it before, though said they only used it for looking up niche topics.

Though previously I've asked people who responded that they'd never even heard of Reddit before . Everyone has heard of YouTube, and Tiktok, and Instagram, but Reddit did not quite reach that level of recognition, for it to be a household name.
