I was just thinking about this, when I’m facing an issue, the first thing I do is go to a search engine and usually there’s a Reddit post. But I don’t want to ask there. And the only way we’re going to build up the info for folks to find us and come here is for us to just start asking here. On the Fediverse. We need to build up that mountain of knowledge that Reddit has and will always have. So we should be championing ANYONE asking questions here. Even if we think it’s obvious and we think you can just Google it. There was a time where you literally couldn’t just Google it. That was built over time. We need to build that here. So start asking your questions here! Find the answers and then post your answer to your own question. Or let someone do it for you. We need to build the knowledge here to be found. It’s not just about people looking for alternatives. We need our knowledge to be more valuable than their knowledge.

Kagi (paid search engine, haven’t tried it myself) has a fediverse forums (lemmy, piefed, mbin) lens.

Oh wow, you’re right!

I wonder how they set that up? DDG has thousands of bangs but not one for Lemmy - probably because it is not at one single URL?

Kagi’s lens are the equivalent of custom feeds for searching (i think, I haven’t used kagi).

But yeah, ddg bangs basically just jump you to a search page on a website.

It also makes it easy to remove reddit from search results entirely.
