I was wondering if the search engines are indexing the fediverse. Because recently Google search became so bad so I was always putting Reddit at the end to get some not so generic results and I haven’t even noticed to get any replies pointing to the fediverse ever. So I was wondering if search engines were actually indexing...
Some platforms like Mastodon allow individual users to discourage search engines from indexing their profile. But, by default, as far as I know all platforms allow indexing. Lemmy seems to not provide any option to control this kind of thing so everything should get indexed.
The thing is, using “thingtosearch reddit” you’re not using any search engine properly, that’s kind of a hack. What you would do is actually “thingtosearch site:reddit.com” to limit searches to a specific site. This works with any site, of course, so you could for example do “thingtosearch site:feddit.it” (that’s my instance), and you will get specific results (which actually might include results from other instances, due to how this indexing works, even though they will be displayed from the site of the instance you specified). (I just noticed btw that DuckDuckGo doesn’t list anything for site:myinstance… well, that’s strange, Google has no problem.)
On mobile you can use extensions like uBlock Origin (content blocker) or Stylus (CSS injector) if you use some specific browsers, and use youtube.com in those: Firefox, Yandex Browser (ugh I know), or Kiwi Browser (Android-only). It’s a mess, I know, but it’s a solution.
I hope the server-side of kbin can get even better in the months to come, because for some things I really like it more than Lemmy, but trying to selfhost it some months ago on my Raspberry Pi 3 was a failure.
I mean, I was able to set it up, it’s a PHP app, it ran … but it was so incredibly slow, like I had to wait 20 seconds at times to load any page (post, community, home, etc). Sometimes the server required so much time to handle requests (more than 60 seconds!) that they failed (especially signup or login requests. By contrast, the Lemmy backend runs considerably smoother, probably because it’s written in a proper compiled language (Rust). You can see the performance tests I did with kbin at the time if you’re curious: codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/2#issuecomment…
Federation wasn’t working at all btw, so I can only imagine what would have happened if it actually was to work (altough it seems that was a different issue, unrelated to the server slowness).
quick to choose, quick, before the name is taken by the users of the new “Threads” app by Meta! 💀 (it will be released tomorrow, we don’t have much time)
Prima di dormire sto spesso soprattutto alla mia scrivania, dove uso virtualmente solo il PC, qualche volta una console fissa, non lo smartphone perché ha poco senso se ho a disposizione mouse + tastiera + 2 schermi grandi.
Tuttavia, quando arriva l’ora di “fin troppo tardi” spesso prendo lo smartphone, avvio un video YouTube (o riprendo quello che ho immediatamente interrotto sul PC), così da potermi preparare per dormire effettivamente (mi devo alzare per andare in bagno, mettermi il pigiama, ecc). Anche se nel frattempo finisco per usare app varie (Telegram, fediverso, 'ste cacate qui), il multitasking è una malattia!
A letto non porto lo smartphone, piuttosto perdo qualche quarto d’ora a leggere con il Kindle (libri, oppure articoli lunghi trovati e salvati durante la giornata).

Anche peggio: rubano i soldi degli utenti. E se fanno questo da praticamente sempre, direi che sperare il servizio sia valido almeno a livello tecnico è farsi illusioni: una mela che inizia a marcire in un punto, se lasciata continuare a farlo, diventerà totalmente inmangiabile.
È in effetti più bello e funzionale… ma per qualche motivo lagga tremendamente quando si scrive nel campo di ricerca delle comunità. La proposta di OP invece è un fulmine

Libreddit and Teddit are practically dead
It appears API rate limiting has effectively killed these alternatives. You essentially get nothing but “Too many requests” 429 errors....
