·10 months ago- I usually both search on Google withe site:hexbear.net and on Hexbear itself. On Google I am moreso looking for keywords. Hexbear weights upvotes more, and oftentimes a good effortpost has received a lot of upvotes, where Google gives more of everything, but both needs a lot of finagling to be useful.
- Hexbear due to familiarity.
- I'm usually posting from phone, so unless it's an effortpost I stay there. For a good infogathering it's on pc tho.
- Most info needs reformatting (adding linktext for example) so it's rarely something I think of. When it's just a quick message I just link the person to the thread. I always rephrase if I'm making a new effortpost.
- If I make new effortpost yeah, otherwise I usually just repost the info as is - with minor tweaks.
- Yes! Good formatting is a lifesaver
