One thing Reddit dominates on is search results. I’m looking things up and seeing so many links to reddit, which I guess is going to help keep that place relevant (unless those subreddits stay dark).

I wondered how Lemmy and this fed thingy stuff all works for that? With more posts can we expect to see people arriving through search results?

    What do you use as a search engine instead of Google? I feel like I’ve tried everything, but always end up back at Google search.

      I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for about a year now, the results still aren’t as good as google, but not having to look at ads and the better privacy outweigh that for me. It really has improved a lot over the last few years.

      Been using Ecosia and so far its been very good. I did not have a need to use Google once.

        Ecosia uses the Bing algorithm by the way, but with tree planting and better privacy. I think DuckDuckGo does the same. So if you’ve tried either one of does, there’s no need to also try Bing.

        Yandex is good if you’re sailing the high seas.

      Been using DuckDuckGo for years now. I only go to Google if I’m not finding what I need, which isn’t that often. And to do that I just pop in !g before my search in DDG and it pushes me to google. Can do the same for other engines like !b for Bing.
