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?
In the same vein as dedicated forums, discoverability is harder, and that’s sadly just the nature of the beast.
One day someone may create a full indexer and scraper, but it’s still too early for that.
There are 2 indexers. The community browser and lemmy.directory. The former is a searchable list of all communities in the federation, and the second one is a Lemmy instance with sign-up disabled so that his server doesn’t explode that auto-subscribes to every community it sees.
Bring back web rings!
I was gonna say, I’m getting Geocities webring vibes. Not sure how I feel about that haha.
Shoot I’m going to have to bring back my Alicia Silverstone site. It killed on the old banner exchanges.
