Even worse, Reddit itself has been getting infected with corporate AI-generated “recommendations”
Even worse, Reddit
Fair point
It’s really strange it’s still at 47 dollars in the stock market. That thing is extreamly overvalued.
And its inaccessible to a lot of people now anyway.
At least the older posts seem to be okay.
You mean the ones where all the comments say [deleted]?
It’s like 1/10 or so of comments. Though it’s fun seeing posts that have obviously been edited to advertise lemmy.
Except when it’s like… “I bet that was the answer I needed, crap.”
That’s why I use “site:reddit.com” instead of just adding “reddit”
Advanced search techniques should be a class in 6th grade
Here’s a tip:
site:reddit.comOr do this:
-site:reddit.com
Makes me sad to think that this will soon be about as useful as “site:facebook.com” with the way Reddit is going.
Yeah maybe giving corpo trash exclusivity over the sum total of human knowledge wasnt the best idea?
Do you think it will ever be possible to do that for all the Lemmy instances?
Pretty much all content gets federated to lemmy.world so if you use site:lemmy.world that’ll do it.
If you look for something related to piracy, sadly it won’t show.
Kagi.com has a lens for the fediverse. A lens is basically a scope within which performing the search.
Nah. The best option we have imo is a service that indexes everything on one site so traditional search engines can find it. That requires someone to build it, and AFAIK that’s hasn’t happened.
That or the search engines themselves implement their own fediverse instances just for the purposes of indexing results. At a certain point if the platform becomes relevant enough I think we could see that happen.
I think they’d probably prefer instances that they have control over to reduce the avenues for a third party to manipulate the results. Otherwise they have to trust whoever runs the search instances.
It already works pretty well if you just add Lemmy to the search.
Lemmy’s built-in search barely works as it is, so unless some drastic changes happen it’s resounding no.
Web search engines don’t rely on sites’ built-in search features.
This is how we found anything on reddit for most of its useful life. Its search was always garbage so we relied on Google to come up with usable results.
It’s miles better than reddit’s search has ever been.
Okay but reddit is also becoming inaccessible; how to migrate this data?
I look forward to Google being forced to down rank any sites with “reddit” in the H1.
Google being forced to
What an odd phrase
There’s something very Darwinian, very artificial selection about this.
As useful as Mozilla/5.0; AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/537.3
Mine is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0. Joke is, this is the trimmed version (about:config xorigin and trimming settings) and some pages already have problems with it. If you strip out the OS, pages like google.com won’t work anymore. Despite that you shouldn’t parse the UA string…
What browser agent is that?
Trick is I took out the actually useful parts like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc. And the OS. All the agents these days have AppleWebKit and Mozilla just so old websites that look for it don’t downgrade the experience.
Firefox doesn’t pretend to use AppleWebKit. It’s actually the only one which identifies itself correctly… mostly, at least:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0
While about:support says “Window Protocol: wayland”. But that’s ok websites shouldn’t care anyway.
It’s other browsers who send things like “like Gecko” to sneak past old browser-detection code.
firefox on iphone i would guess.
Probably Netscape

Google also sneak “reddit” into the “People also ask” section.
Stop using “reddit” and use “site:reddit.com”, searchers.
I fucking hate seo abusers. I have to use a locally hosted ai for a lot of my “googling” because modern day search results are fucking worthless now.
Is the AI open source? Curious what you’re using and what your experiences with it are.
llamacpp. Remember to modify the launch script to use multiple cores. Go to hugging face io and look for GGUF compatible models.
site:reddit.com
Am I the only one that wants to know more about this Japanese toaster you can fuck?
Surely I’m not alone here.
