    can’t easily find

    It’s funny you say this, because nowadays it’s hard to actually find stuff on Reddit. So many comments are collapsed and so few are loaded that it’s really difficult to actually follow conversations. Add in NSFW posts and posts in small communities not even being viewable outside of the app (at least on mobile).

        Yeah, but then actually seeing the comments on those posts is a hassle. It wasn’t like this a few years back.

      What exactly are you searching for, though? I do subreddit-specific searches to begin with. If people happen to have not discussed the topic, then I simply make a new post about it, either here or there.

        I’m not talking about how easy it is to find topics, I’m talking about the amount of comments that load. Look at this from r/LifeProTips about oil changes. All that loaded is the auto mod sticky response about voting if it’s a good post and two comments. They make it very difficult to read conversations. This thread has 121 comments. Three are shown. Even pressing show more barely shows any responses down the tree.
