Unfortunately it’s captured a lot of information and resources.
Think about crafting - I’m going to find a lot more knitting tutorials on Reddit than I will here. Lemmy is very like early Reddit, where it’s only really active on topics like politics and technology.
Ravelry is a archive (want to know the attributes of any yarn or errata on any pattern ever?), project journal, occasionally interactive (imo the forum/groups can be dead).
Knittit is just FO’s and chat (chat good for exchanging technique knowledge).
To be fair, I was totally lost even as a Reddit veteran, for quite a while, which is why my adoption to Lemmy was slow. It took me a very long time to really start to understand how the federation worked, and I still would not say I’m an expert in any way.
I still need to use mobile apps’ auto-fill features to help myself properly tag users and communities on other instances, an issue I never one had on Reddit.
If someone says something incorrect on Reddit there’s a good chance there’s someone pointing it out. AI will insist it is correct when it tells you “strawberry” has 2 “R’s”.

There’s a very small chance of someone pointing it out. There’s a better chance they’ll be downvoted. There’s an even better chance someone right will be downvoted and someone pointing out their mistake, incorrectly, will be upvoted.
You can’t be serious if you’re telling me you’re going to use Reddit comments as a reliable source of information, but then ideologically object to the idea of using an LLM for the same purpose.

What do you need to craft in your life besides building the perfect Linux distro? /s
On a side note, how do you find Reddit vs Ravelry for knitting?
Two toooootally different formats.
Ravelry is a archive (want to know the attributes of any yarn or errata on any pattern ever?), project journal, occasionally interactive (imo the forum/groups can be dead).
Knittit is just FO’s and chat (chat good for exchanging technique knowledge).
That’s our intellectual property! For various values of “intellectual”.
And a LOT of really odd niche stuff. The biggest nerds migrated to here.

Just search on one of the AIs that scraped Reddit.
I’m sorry were we not just talking about trying to get back on Reddit?
Enough with the anti-AI bs, it’s cringe.
Enough with pretending AI is useful for looking things up, it’s cringe.
It’s a lot more than using Reddit’s search engine.
But that’s not what this thread is about
You’re willing to use Reddit but not AI?
I’d rather use Reddit than AI, yes.

Have you used AI in the past year?
