What value did you get from Reddit that you hope to realize or expand upon here? (lemmy.world)

For me, it's a few things.

  1. A way to burn time that doesn't feel like a digital sugar rush.

  2. Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.

  3. Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

Reddit was nice because I could Google something like "best beginner DSLR camera" and I only got ai generated articles on the newest most expensive cameras, but I could search "best beginner DSLR camera reddit" and actually get good options.

part of that is just that reddit was around for so long and had such good SEO. I doubt any lemmy community will achieve that level of SEO so it won't be that easy. But if lemmy can just get a search bar that isn't a piece of shit then do we really need google?

What if you write, for example, "search term site:reddit.com" ? The SEO wouldn't really matter then, would it?
