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.

Quora...seriously though, I dunno. Maybe try page 2+ on google?

sure i could get random individual blog pages giving their own answers, but the magic came from the forum part where sometimes there isn't a singular right answer and you'd have people discussing their preferences based on whatever expertise. Also while there were shills, you could compare to the other answers and see if guy #1 is actually true.

For a lot of the stuff I need to find with Google these (random blog pages) barely exist any more.

I used to be able to find answers down some rabbit hole posted to a forum somewhere, now it's just a chamber of SEO optimisers with no data to be found.

Well you basically have to start on page 2 on Google now because page 1 is nothing but ads.
