Gotta be honest, watching the titles of the posts getting deleted made me a bit nostalgic, because it was an almost 5yo account.
However, now that's old news, and my account is totally gone.
I won't miss it really, I like Lemmy a lot more.
Yeah and then they get unhappy with reddit and find Lemmy. :)
It won't if people remain on reddit. :)
I tried a few times already searching for somewith with lemmy like
[technical issue] lemmyor
[technical issue] [instance]Guess how many results came up from that...The SEO right now is shit for those instances and discoverability. Searching for reddit will currently will not even mention something to lemmy or similiar.
Which query did you run?
I did "Lemmy neovim" and finding good results on Kagi:

A huge number of people who read reddit posts aren't actually reddit users. Reddit has become just as important a repository of internet knowledge as Stack Overflow or Wikipedia. If you're having trouble with software or something technical, the information on Reddit is invaluable.
That information does not exist on Lemmy Lemmy as an alternative when it comes to that information that already exists in the world is not a viable alternative.
The best possible thing that people moving to Lemmy can do is leave their comment and post history up, but continue to provide good answers to questions here on Lemmy. Eventually the knowledge on Reddit will be here or outdated enough to fade into obscurity.
