    Don’t forget that it wasn’t reddit that provided that information, it was a user that submitted the information for free.

      Exactly! I think that the solution to this issue is to ask more questions on Lemmy. If more people ask, we may be able to get more information without having to type “reddit” after our questions X)

    Since I left Reddit, I’ve had a few searches yield very helpful Reddit results. I read them and move on. I’m running an adblocker and I’m not providing value by commenting. I see no problem with this.

    Whenever that happens, I take a look at the result and bring it here.

    I make a post at the relevant community. If it doesn’t exist, I make it. I encourage you to do the same. :)

    I know it’s a meme, but the way I see it is, giving Reddit a click or two won’t really move the needle much.

    Really it’s about the long-term. If you’re on the Fediverse creating content and not on Reddit, eventually those search results will stop pointing at Reddit. That’s the real win I think.

      Is there a viable way to google Fediverse content? I’ve not really had any luck with that. Mostly I get only Mastodon content.

        Give it time. Reddit has only been the “go-to” for a few years. Before that it was random forums. As the fediverse picks up, it will become the go to. Especially considering a lot of the tech enthusiasts are moving here.

      And this means we’re not giving them clicks or anything? It’s basically as if we’ve never visited in the first place?

      I get that “no ads no tracking”, but does the proxy give them a view? I don’t want them to get any traffic from me, proxy or otherwise.

      Thanks for sharing

    Copy the link and search an archive; the sub me may be down anyways. Also post your solution here. Be the change you want to see

    It’s this actually true though? I always had to add Reddit at the end of the search query as it always gave me some shit websites as sources otherwise.
