And the problem is that people who are power hungry and only doing it to scratch that itch can't be trusted to maintain a valuable community. That's not the type of people they are.
And people who create the content are moving to other platforms. I've deleted all of my reddit links and apps to reduce the likeyhood I'll stumble across a reddit post. Also starting to take some of my better reddit posts and edit them to remove any valuable content, and post on Lemmy instead.
Question: can lemmy content be found in a Google search?
Google is at it with indexing. You can also use: https://fedi-search.com/ https://www.search-lemmy.com/
I haven't really tried them out for real tho. I think the search in lemmy works pretty well especially in instances like world because they are connected to so many communities. But you are maybe a lot more advanced with your searches
No, it's not that I need more advanced search. It's that currently reddit is the best source for information on the Internet. I still want people to be able to find the information they need from well meaning people. Even if that means some douchey company crawls all the lemmy posts to feed to its AI.
