News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it's only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

Search is broken in Reddit right now (for me at least). Best part is, it doesn't always report an error, just pretends there are no results.

Oh, and Reddit Status doesn't know yet.

Lol reddit search has always been almost entirely worthless. I know search can be hard, but it has to be by design.

[–] RunAwayFrog@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I'm not talking about inherent brokenness that was always there.

There is a specific search with a non-dictionary word, and limited to specific sub, that always worked, but it's not working right now, returning zero results. Reddit search is fully broken right now (except for finding sub names if you don't limit the search to a sub).

Problem is still persisting btw. And Reddit Status still reporting no problems.

Ironically, if they spent a lot of time improving it, Reddit might've been far more profitable. A big advantage Reddit has is all of the genuine conversation and questions for things people Google. Reddit could have weaponized it by becoming a direct competitor to Google, and I think they would've actually done really well.

Right? They could have done a billion things to become profitable, they're a top site for traffic for multiple countries. The fact that this is all they could muster just proves their incompetence.

An I the only one who never had issues with search

[–] tomthegeek@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Reddit search has always been broken, even when it was working.

[–] Anders429@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Search was always broken. When have you ever found anything you were looking for with it?

Always.

[–] ebits21@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it’s improved? Always had to use google to search Reddit. Ridiculous.

[–] RunAwayFrog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I only use(d) it in a specific way. For example searching for a sport club (non-dictionary) name, limiting the search to that sport's sub, and sorting by new).

For general search, a search engine would indeed probably work much better.


Problem found and solved according to Reddit Status btw, and confirmed by my own tests.
