You know when you needed an answer to something and wanted the opinion of the masses. You could search "[how to topic] reddit" or filter with "site:reddit.com".

So what now? Could i still do "best table Lemmy" or "how to do this Lemmy"?

This was my favorite use of reddit where you could get a bunch of answers for different topics.

im an RTFM and RTFC fan, never noticed a difference except when id dip into something new for the first time. Feels, and annoying.

It was very useful for queries along the lines of "which x is the best", "which x to buy", etc. You can guarantee that there was a discussion about pretty much anything on Reddit

Bingo. Researching product choices was one of my best use cases for adding site:reddit.com to search queries. Avoids spammy articles and gives you actual discussions with legitimate dissenting opinions.
