Do you mean knowledge as in "knowledgeable people are there and contribute new information" or historical information from before most knowledgeable people left?
I too "use" Reddit for the latter purpose via my search engine but I don't really consider that to be me using Reddit as a platform. I just read the existing content (usually from many years ago) – through a proxy front-end no less.
IME it's rare to come across a post without redacted comments these days.

@Atemu @notthebee I know that there’s historical data and I’d wager (hope?) that there are still people on there that can and do contribute useful information The amount of posts in the genre of „I have this weird issue with the motherboard, anyone got an idea“ to „yes, here’s the github repo for the exploit that you need to fix this“ was at least astonishing once upon a time. I hope that at least some of these people stayed Back when Reddit pulled the plug on third party clients, the datahoarder subreddit was talking about options but idk what became of that
