    This is actually a good sign that Google is taking steps to fix their broken search engine. All it seems to deliver anymore as SEO-optimized crap “blogs” with affiliate links. Linking to Reddit without the user having to include “reddit” in the search is a sign they’re actually trying to deliver good results again.

      intext:“modlog” & “instances” & “docs” & “code” & “join lemmy”

      Just pin it in clipboard. Use it after search to get results from across Lemmy

      I don’t know I am getting really shit results on all major search egines lately. Very location specific when I want general information and when I want to have some me times getting decent results, with moderation turned off, is piss poor.
