Please don't expect the community to give you answers to your questions which you then delete right afterwards. Those of us who put time into answering your questions are not doing so just to serve your personal needs, we are here to help build a community knowledge base that others can search and reference.

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

I just want to apologize for being the person who asks questions and then doesn't respond to the comments. I get overwhelmed D: but I'd never delete my post, what's the purpose in that?

Someone may have the same question in the future and there will be answers. You not responding is not that bad but it is even better that you do and provide an update to your situation, if you wish.

Someone may have the same question in the future and there will be answers.

With 8.4 billion people on this planet, I can't be the only one asking the question.

and if everyone who asks that question has that mindset then we end up with no answers longterm.

its annoying to scroll through 15 threads asking the same thing looking for an answer, but its infinitely worse to find no threads related to what you're trying to do.
