Many searches are useless without including reddit.com

As an example: I was doing a search for the best sesame substitute today. Everything that came up was things like, “11 Best Sesame Substitutes,” and I know for a fact that just about everything they suggested tastes nothing like sesame. Just another site trying to get hits. So I added reddit.com into my search parameters and immediately got some decent answers.

I really hate that I have to do that to get anything useful, but there is a ridiculous amount of useful information on Reddit. I hope the fediverse gets to this point as well one day.

Anway, just needed to vent. Lemmy on.

But how can we accomplish the same with lemmy?

We can’t add Lemmy.com to the google search, and I can’t remember all the lemmy community names either.

Maybe just adding lemmy to the end would work… I usually did what OP did but just using reddit added instead of the whole dot com thing…

That’s my biggest gripe with the fediverse. SEO kinda sucks. I haven’t had any luck with adding lemmy at the end

Is it because the way the fediverse works or just because there isn’t enough topics about it?..

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.
