With all of the instances having different URL's, what's the best way to "google" a question and get Lemmy instance answers? (lemm.ee)

For example, I could search "best blender reddit" and browse tons of threads and gather advice. Is there an equivalent we can do in the future with Lemmy/Kbin?

Idk, but I would like to find out. We need a federation search engine that only searches the federation.

Fuck google.

@[email protected] was kind enough to put together a search tool that does just this:

Aaand I've searched "best blender" and I found out it's... THE SOFTWARE!

Now that's a fedi answer 😎👍

Vitamix, the "explorian" budget model blends as well as the more expensive ones but without some of the luxury features or optional accessories. Typically about 300 USD, worth it imo.

why would you care where the answer comes from? if the answer is what you want, that is. if you want to jerk off about lemmy/reddit/facebook/whatever, just go to appropriate homepage and do your job.

What? lol. Have you tried searching for something and sifting through the sea of garbage blog content on the internet?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

you do seem to have some misconceptions about the world.

first one is that because something is on reddit, it is not "garbage blog content".

have you tried using google without "site:reddit"? it gives you results (what a surprise), some of them may be on reddit, some of them may be not. look at them and decide which ones seem relevant to your search. it is quite easy.

Looks like the assholes are coming out of the woodwork. That's gonna happen when a bunch of new users come. What a geekezoid amiright?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hey man, if the assholes are coming over here too, it just means it's getting more popular :)

Looks like the assholes are coming out of the woodwork.

here is the thing. i wasn't trying to be funny. you, on the other hand, were and the best you could do is parrot thousand years old cliche, so if you want to worry about someone not being funny, i suggest to aim your focus at the nearest mirror, you pathetic clown.
