Comment on Found in the wild
basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 6 months agoI still get there through search engines from time to time. Some niche topics don’t have many communities covering it.
The absurdest one is the Open Source game Pixel Dungeon and it’s fork. The wiki that documents a lot of item and skill behavior is on fandom (content has a good license and there are mirrors, but meh). The communty moved to lemmy, but a lot of important questions were only answered on reddit. The content doesn’t move, only the users. And if the question is already answered on reddit it’s actually less likely that it will also be asked here.

That’s on who?
Sounds like a game who doesn’t document well, why should we encourage each other to continue using what isn’t working in favor of consistency and consistency sake alone when there’s a plethora of other and better options available.
I agree it sucks, but it’s not permanent in the slightest. It’s not information or answers only retrievable from Reddit. As much as that might have been your experience, it’s not the only experience out there nor is it in any way a majority.
Short run: yes people will have to look elsewhere for answers.
Long run: ???
