Keep in mind that your Google results are probably highly personalized. For instance, I tried googling that exact phrase (in a private window), and Lemmy doesnt appear for me at all.
This was the first thing that came to my mind. So I tried again, using a VPN (exit server in the USA) and an incognito window. That screenshot came from that result.
Oh weird, fair play to you then!
Yeah, my personalized content probably wasn't so personalized. Still, let's wait to see the results of other people here in this thread.
I got it as 2nd result too! But, I also got this post as the 3rd result ☠️ https://i.imgur.com/hb1QTyg.png
But did you try it from a different computer? While wearing a fake mustache? And typing with a fake french accent? Google is watching!
Damnit...
You love to see it!
4th result on duckduckgo via mull on a private tab with a vpn on for me
Edit: I'll whip out mullvad browser when I get home
Edit: having trouble connecting to mullvads dns for some reason will try later
Edit #3: 3rd search result
Lemmy was the 5th result for me in private mode, just after youtube
If Reddit goes through with their threat of removing their links from Google, then Lemmy will definitely win.
Please, for the love of the internet, never feel like you can't contribute and keep things fun, interesting, and completely weird. That's how we take back what we all love.
... and while there's no reason to state the obvious I'll say it anyway. Fuck spez
If Reddit goes through with their threat of removing their links from Google
Why the hell would they do that?
It's part of blocking 3rd party indexers because they think they're like tiktok, not a library
The only reason I visit Reddit anymore is because it's a vast sea of human experience and knowledge. Usually I just search Google with "[topic I'm interested in learning about] site:reddit.com".
Spez gonna spez
Spez gunna spaz
Now do it with DuckDuckGo
This is amazing. If we can overtake Reddit in search indexing—or even just show up alongside it like this we’re completely set.
Made the full switch a couple days ago and already don't miss reddit at all. The community is smaller, yes, but that lends itself to better, more engaged discussion. People are here because they want to be not because its the only place offered.
Futurama has one of the bigger communities on here. Lemmy needs more dedicated communities centered around a certain franchises, like Baldurs Gate or Futurama or live-action One Piece.
Man, i joined lemmy about 2 months ago and because there are no free apps for reddit i haven't logged on there since then. Once people understand the instances they will feel at home.
There are some amazing apps and even web apps now
Fingers crossed that version 0.19 will bring more users on board 🥺
I doubt anyone is hanging on for mostly technical / security changes in 0.19. The best way to improve uptake is to remove all the sand from the signup process which as it stands would scare away many people.
That it is also part of upcoming updates
What is happening exactly?
First on my SearXNG instance
Since no one asked, here's Yahoo
Long, long screenshot
Thanks to the author of the post for reminding me about this series. I didn't know there was a new season.
I believe in us
Wooooooooooooo
Keep being good to each other, one another, everyone staying alive and doing as little harm as possible.
Man this wound me up. It's not season 11, it's season 8.
That didn't stop me downloading the wrong episode, time and time again. Same file, but it had completely the wrong name, and I need them all to say ELiTE or ETHEL consistently, otherwise it's all just wrong.
Unfortunately the later episodes kinda suck.
Like. So much I can't remember the plot of the last 2 despite having watched them yesterday.
Something about duck wars... It was an episode of B sides. Plural.
Preem! But I also wish these new Futurama episodes were better. They suck worse than the comedy central ones
