Most of us dumped Reddit when third party apps went away. I personally haven't been back to Reddit since creating a Lemmy account. Screw that place; they don't deserve my patronage anymore. Or anyone's, for that matter. Continuing to use their content is justifying their shitty business practices. It'll never get better if people keep enabling it.
Also, what specific info are you searching for that Reddit can provide? Their search function has always been garbage. Or are you referring to general content and/or subs that don't have an active userbase here yet?
Buildapac is probably still one of the best places to get advice on pc parts.
Google indexes Reddit, it does not index the fediverse
That sounds incorrect. What's your source?
They do indeed index, but the fediverse isn't yet highly ranked against other results. The above will let you specifically search whatever site you choose, such as Lemmy.world
I can get this to work on Google and DDG. I haven't bothered checking others. I usually search Lemmy via my app though.
Previous experience that may no longer be relevant if it is actually doing so now
Yes, but Google's is very good. And it frequently returns links to Reddit.
