You know when you needed an answer to something and wanted the opinion of the masses. You could search “[how to topic] reddit” or filter with “site:reddit.com”.
So what now? Could i still do “best table Lemmy” or “how to do this Lemmy”?
This was my favorite use of reddit where you could get a bunch of answers for different topics.
no, the echo chamber is what the elders (my contemporaries) running the site are doing. its only maintained through direct manipulation of the site and a bot army i suspect is at some level supported by reddit.
