Most people lose interest. You have to help a lot to get a person who is going to help others in the future.
Comment on Why are some Linux community so toxic?
CameronDev@programming.dev 1 day agoIf the newbies don’t stick around to contribute back, then that doesn’t work well. The trans community (at least from an outsiders perspective) seem a lot more close-knit, so it probably works better?
For technical communities, it doesn’t seem like the communal support exists to the same degree. Newbies come in, get their answer and leave. :(

I guess because an answer to a technical question doesn’t affect someone’s whole life.
I’ll always be in debt to the Trans community here on Lemmy because of how they helped me, even though I’m not a member of the community.
