    I was searching a message board for some info recently. I found a post with the same question but there was no answer. Eventually I found another post with the answer. So I went back to the first post and linked to the answer.

    Dear internet, you’re welcome.

      A while ago I was having a very specific Linux problem, I searched for it, and finally found a reddit post from someone who had the exact same problem, explaining what they did to fix it. Then I noticed the poster was me from two years ago lol.

      I’ve been having similar issues, and when I am given an answer or find it way back in comment histories, I’ll copy and paste it into mine and reference the older post. This seems to help a lot in Discords where it serves you results based on date since post.
