I’ve found Lemmy’s Linux community to be extremely helpful I hope it stays this way
It's one of the things that I like the most about lemmy over reddit. The reddit linux community was toxic, insular and gatekeepy, even as a moderately experienced linux user I had difficulty getting help.
"Learn how to Google noob!"
Fuck sakes, I just spent several hours deep diving forums and Web search results looking for an answer to my question, and the only thing I could find that was exactly my problem was concluded by OP editing their post to say "Ah, never mind, figured it out." And not including the solution.....
It should be legal to hunt that person down and clamp a lobster to their nipples.
Oh there's a special place in hell, where Satan from the movie Little Nicky is, waiting for these people....with lobsters and a pineapple.
probably because lemmy's pretty small compared to places like reddit and because everyone sees the same content with the same sorting, places like reddit make a few "help" requests visible and make them feel unimportant
I asked about servers once and they told me don't host a server under any circumstance.
"If you don't know to do X, don't even bother learning."
"Don't learn anything, just give up." Great, thanks, guys.
We should do our part in reporting unhelpful users. Especially those that recommend Arch or more advanced distros to beginners.
