Reddit is the new Quora or Yahoo! Answers

[–] frankyboi@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

Quora is so disgusting. I thank reddit will become just like quora . Reddit + to read full answers , they show you related topic under question instead of the answers , etc .

you know, now that you mention it, I should really look into using lemmy for all the things I used reddit for

Better yet would be a shared knowledge base of "just how to do stuff" without any corporate overlords and just moderation to prevent danger or harm for spreading. Like wikihow, but not so shit. Just have basically your notes.txt file for work but with more contributors. The problem with these threaded support threads lasting forever as "here's how to do stuff" is they exist as snapshots and time makes things malleable

I've used TiddlyWiki for work notes for ages. I used to just keep my Wiki on a thumb drive, but now I use Dropbox and "TiddlyWiki In The Sky". Have it open in another browser tab.

Searchable, tags, all the good Wiki stuff.

I used TiddlyWiki for years and dearly love it. I've been using Logseq to fill that need as of late because TiddlyWiki just ran into bugs too often for me to comfortably and happily rely on it
