I used to use DDG a while ago but Google was loads better…at the time. Now I get nothing but ads and video suggestions. I will likely just switch back to DDG again

Any way to get a Lemmy bang? It seems like that might be difficult to get a Fediverse wide one instead of individual servers.

I guess one way they could do it would be to make a DDG server connected to the fediverse directly, then use federation to index the fediverse, so it can piggyback on the existing infrastructure and it doesn’t have to crawl all the servers and keep track of the network manually. Then I suppose individual instances could defederate and remove themselves from DDG searches, which wouldn’t be so bad if they really wanted to opt out.

on ddg’s website they have a list of bangs you can search through. Maybe someone’s added it already? There should also be a link where you can submit bang requests I think.

I checked and there is not. I’ll have to check more into making them but it seems domain specific which might be difficult to do across all of Lemmy without a bit of work.
