Ha yes I've found that if you explain why your question isn't a duplicate of another question and link to it, people are more likely to report it as a duplicate of that question. So stupid.
"An answer to the linked question answers your question, so we've marked your question as a duplicate. Even though your question is different.💜 Also, a bunch of people downvoted your question too did not spotting that an answer on an unrelated question answers your question. And we give you notifications of it. And they're big, scary red numbers! But don't worry, this helps the site!"
And then none of the answers there answer what you're asking. 🙄 Which like, if they did, the whole process might have been worth it.
