Indeed. I at least think they should repost the helpful information here to Lemmy so that users still have access to it, I understand driving traffic away from Reddit but we should keep that useful information open to the community.

Very often that info is the result of a full conversation:

  1. I have problem A.
  2. Try B
  3. Not, working, I get error C
  4. Ah, change D in your config
  5. Now it's working, thanks.

That means automatation is more complicated, and there's also the legal aspect.

It's still very possible, but it probably stops quite a few people that considered this.
