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 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.)

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).
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....
