That’s why I use “site:reddit.com” instead of just adding “reddit”
Looks like SEO chuds are now adding 'Reddit' to the titles.

Don’t worry, I’m sure google will disable that soon in the same way they disable all the other search syntax that used to make searching a simple and easy task
ricdeh@lemmy.world 1 month ago
“Search engine” is not equivalent to “Google”.

Advanced search techniques should be a class in 6th grade

Or better yet, try my filter… It’s “-site:reddit.com”!

Here’s a tip:
site:reddit.com
kakes@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
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?
Zugyuk@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Or do this:
-site:reddit.com
200ok@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Do you think it will ever be possible to do that for all the Lemmy instances?
rimu@piefed.social 1 month ago
Pretty much all content gets federated to lemmy.world so if you use site:lemmy.world that'll do it.
sudneo@lemm.ee 1 month ago
Kagi.com has a lens for the fediverse. A lens is basically a scope within which performing the search.
Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Lemmy’s built-in search barely works as it is, so unless some drastic changes happen it’s resounding no.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
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.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It already works pretty well if you just add Lemmy to the search.

Okay but reddit is also becoming inaccessible; how to migrate this data?

As useful as Mozilla/5.0; AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/537.3
MonkderDritte@feddit.de 1 month ago
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?
Rentlar@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
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.
PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 1 month ago
firefox on iphone i would guess.

Probably Netscape

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
simplejack@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’ve spent a lot of time working in SEO.
Search results like this can drive people away from Google and toward other resources. Google likes money, and this is why they usually try to combat spammers that are gaming the system.
It’s a cat and mouse game that has been happening for years. Organic search spammers find a new thing, then Google tweaks the algorithm to downrank what they’re exploiting.

There’s something very Darwinian, very artificial selection about this.
MyNamesNotRobert@lemmynsfw.com 1 month ago
I fucking hate seo abusers. I have to use a locally hosted ai for 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.
tal@lemmy.today 1 month ago
Stop using “reddit” and use “site:reddit.com”, searchers.
Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 month ago
Google also sneak “reddit” into the “People also ask” section.
johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 1 month ago
site:reddit.com

Even worse, Reddit itself has been getting infected with corporate AI “recommendations”

At least the older posts seem to be okay.

You mean the ones where all the comments say [deleted]?
nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de 1 month ago
Not completely though. A while ago I’ve had a wave of these comments on a 3 year old post of mine. They got deleted after I’ve reported them at least, though I don’t know if that action was done by a mod of the subreddit or site-wide admin.
melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 1 month ago
And its inaccessible to a lot of people now anyway.
