    Copy the link and search an archive; the sub me may be down anyways. Also post your solution here. Be the change you want to see

    True this, I had an issue using the duckstation emulator and then googled and the whole first page of search hits were reddit posts to a blacked out sub. Grrr.

    Don’t forget that it wasn’t reddit that provided that information, it was a user that submitted the information for free.

      Exactly! I think that the solution to this issue is to ask more questions on Lemmy. If more people ask, we may be able to get more information without having to type “reddit” after our questions X)

        There will come a time where we search using lemmy as keyword to find the answer straight away.

      I’m just meming, I’m not actually mad at reddit

      Edit: To those taking this seriously, don’t be mad at reddit. Be mad at the asshole running it.

    I know it’s a meme, but the way I see it is, giving Reddit a click or two won’t really move the needle much.

    Really it’s about the long-term. If you’re on the Fediverse creating content and not on Reddit, eventually those search results will stop pointing at Reddit. That’s the real win I think.

      Is there a viable way to google Fediverse content? I’ve not really had any luck with that. Mostly I get only Mastodon content.

    Whenever that happens, I take a look at the result and bring it here.

    I make a post at the relevant community. If it doesn’t exist, I make it. I encourage you to do the same. :)

    It’s this actually true though? I always had to add Reddit at the end of the search query as it always gave me some shit websites as sources otherwise.

    It’s been so difficult lately with all the subreddits going private. Makes me sad that I can’t get help through Reddit anymore. Years and years of QnA down the drain.
