We are in Brave's search results!
(sh.itjust.works)
I think as the community grows, more search engines will start including us!
I can't wait until we can start appending "lemmy" to our search strings in order to find useful results.
Is there a “user reviews” community?
Kagi does it already.
!Lemmy [stuff]
Gets you stuff from all over Lemmy
yeah but its, like, 5 bucks a month /:
SearXNG has a the same functionality as well for free:
You can self-host it or use one of the publicly available instances.
I wasn’t able to find an option to use Lemmy search an several public instances. Do you know an instance that supports this?
I am self hosting my version so that is where my screenshot came from.
If I were looking for a public instance to use that has this functionality, I'd look to some of the European hosts as they are less likely to use Reddit as their de facto platform relative to Americans
Does self-hosting with those extensions require a lot of system resources?
Not in my experience. I am running a docker container and it is one of +10 containers running on my server which is basically a laptop from a few years ago. So far no issues.
That's great! I had no idea you could specifically search for lemmy content in search engines (albeit niche).
big fediverse
That's why all the top results on every search are actual results, instead of a bunch of ads.
Totally worth it.
I'm struggling with kagi because I do notike my searches tied to an account/profile (a paid CC and name and address etc.)
I like kagi but this is making me want to cancel my membership. Thoughts?
They don't keep a search history. Your searches aren't tied to anything, because they aren't even saved. They don't have any reason to save them since they aren't selling any targeted ads.
This was my understanding as well. It's the point of paying. However , it is just "trust me bro" right? It's not like they've been audited for not storing user data? Even just basic logging too could hold user info. Honestly no idea with paid search engines, I know so little.
What incentive would they have to betray your trust?
More Money!
Until their users found out.
Even an audit is really just someone else saying "trust me bro". You have some level of trust.
It's always the same story: are confident are you that this is true?
My confidence is inversely proportional to any evidence you have to the contrary.
