Hello all. Like many new users, I am a reddit refugee. Please forgive me if this isn’t the best community for my question; I am still learning my way around here.
I am used to google searching “[THING] site:reddit.com” when I want to see the opinions of real people on a topic rather than the flood of clickbait articles you get nowadays with Google.
What is the best way to execute this type of search within the Fediverse rather than Reddit?
I agree with everything you’ve said but I also think refugees need to be patient. I remember being there 12 years ago and reddit was not very sophisticated. And hey, it’s been 12 years and their own search still sucks! Agree that we should be aiming for a better service and work together to provide it but everybody needs to be patient in this time of transition.
You can always use Google to search reddit content though, and that’s actually the preferred and optimal way to do it. Afaik that doesn’t work with the fediverse since every instance isn’t going to get indexed?
That’s kinda bad that stuff doesn’t get indexed by default, it segregates the internet, just like Facebook and Disord stuff is not indexed.
