I have the opposite experience. If I'm looking for some technical information (is this MTB suspension part compatible with this fork, or what's the charging profile for this particular battery chemistry, or how do I do x in new programming language y), and I end up on Reddit, I am 99% certain I'll find some vague but useless answer.

Reddit is like a crowdsourced wiki. It goes wide and does a decent job on a variety of topics, but drastically fails when you need to go deep.

Interesting, I agree that technical info and help is not a strong suit for Reddit though.

Mileage varies. I find a lot more useful content on the better technical subs than I've seen on SO and its siblings for years. And the attitude is often much more pleasant as well.
