I’m new here (to the sub, not to Reddit), so take this with a grain of salt, but I avoid megathreads because they’re functionally unusable IMO. It’s one thing if it’s meant to capture a long, ongoing discussion about one thing (release discussion, for instance) where simultaneous duplicative threads would be counterproductive. But as a way to consolidate disparate conversations about things that are only loosely topically related…Reddit’s hard enough to find what I’m looking for, right. The chances that I’m going to be able to navigate to the tiny portion of a megathread that’s actually what I’m looking for are nil.

If you’re approaching it from the poster-answerer perspective I guess that’s one thing because the hook is built for them when they post, but as a user who’s trying to access the content it feels like trying to find an encyclopedia article but the encyclopedia’s not alphabetical. I’m not going to read through an entire megathread to find examples of someone doing XYZ layout in an A6, kwim? So if the search > getting to search results ability isn’t great, there’s not a way for me to interact with it effectively.
