This has become a chronic issue with Lemmy and its starting to feel like it’s a waste of time to answer questions.

    Yes! This drives me crazy. I will sometimes go back and edit posts to add more info months later.

    We have all been in a situation where we are looking for a very specific answer, and the answer only exists in one obscure forum from a decade ago that has the exact info we are looking for.

    It’s hard enough to ensure lemmy’s long-term fidelity without people axing their own content.
