“Why Do So Many Music Venues Use Ticketmaster?” “What’s It Like to Train to Be a Sushi Chef?” “How Do Martial Artists Break Concrete Blocks?” If you were looking for answers to such questions 10 years ago, your best resource for finding a thorough, expert-informed response likely would have been one of the most interesting and longest-lasting corners of the internet: Quora.

I disagree, the best place for such answers used to be Reddit, and Stack Exchange for the techy stuff. Quora always felt like cancer for some reason and I never really used it.

Here's hoping at some point search engines will return Lemmy links when people look for answers, but we're not there yet

The problem with Lemmy is the federated content gets duplicated on multiple sites, word for word, which isn't good for SEO

That is a search engine problem, not a lemmy problem.
