Reddit: addition to the list of websites to get help

When there’s a specific bug in Unity or error message, I have found the best-quality solutions (when googling the error message or a brief description of the bug) are very often on Reddit. The Unity forums might give a ton of ideas that don’t work, or a lot of “I can’t duplicate that”. Stack Overflow sometimes has the answer (too often, the very question I asked is there, but someone flagged it…they are strict there!..and it was closed prematurely), but if the question has already been asked on Reddit, the answer that works is so often there. Something about their point system must motivate good answers, whereas the unity forums have a lot of “just reboot” or “reinstall Unity” or “delete it all and see if that works” kind of stuff: i.e. they don’t know.

As for asking the question myself on Reddit, that has worked, but it takes longer. The already-asked questions that have been there for a long time so often pretty much have what you need.
