    honestly we should have collectively realized way earlier that putting all the useful, readable, un-touched-by-SEO help content for basically every niche hobby fandom and ideology in the hands of one for-profit entity was not very wisdom-pilled of us

      some people have, but whenever you’d mention it, you’d be met with “lol take the tinfoil hat off”, “but we’re already using [for-profit platform] why would we move when everyone’s here” and “but it’s haaaaaaard”.

    Had this happen today. Was searching for some programming related stuff and top pages are all inaccessible Reddit posts.

      Same, but it’s just growing pains.

      We should start rewriting posts in lemmy with the correct information.

        Sad thing is most search engines suck/haven’t really indexed mostly anything in the fediverse. Wonder why

          The fediverse is really not good for big companies. It cannot be monetized or controlled.

          It’s obvious you know this, but we just need a search engine that’s tuned to search the fediverse.
