Keep in mind that your Google results are probably highly personalized. For instance, I tried googling that exact phrase (in a private window), and Lemmy doesnt appear for me at all.

[-] lawrence@lemmy.world 174 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This was the first thing that came to my mind. So I tried again, using a VPN (exit server in the USA) and an incognito window. That screenshot came from that result.

[-] kakes@sh.itjust.works 69 points 2 years ago

Oh weird, fair play to you then!

[-] lawrence@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago

Yeah, my personalized content probably wasn't so personalized. Still, let's wait to see the results of other people here in this thread.

[-] gila@lemm.ee 45 points 2 years ago

I got it as 2nd result too! But, I also got this post as the 3rd result ☠️ https://i.imgur.com/hb1QTyg.png

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago

But did you try it from a different computer? While wearing a fake mustache? And typing with a fake french accent? Google is watching!

You love to see it!

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 10 points 2 years ago

While probably a valid enough test, keep in mind Google's fingerprinting goes well beyond IP and what incognito applies. There's a reason Tor Browser changes things like browser window dimensions every time you open it.

4th result on duckduckgo via mull on a private tab with a vpn on for me

Edit: I'll whip out mullvad browser when I get home

Edit: having trouble connecting to mullvads dns for some reason will try later

Edit #3: 3rd search result

[-] doofer_name@feddit.de 16 points 2 years ago

3rd for me on duckduckgo. Reddit didn’t even show.

If Reddit goes through with their threat of removing their links from Google, then Lemmy will definitely win.

[-] bmsok@lemmy.world 79 points 2 years ago

Please, for the love of the internet, never feel like you can't contribute and keep things fun, interesting, and completely weird. That's how we take back what we all love.

... and while there's no reason to state the obvious I'll say it anyway. Fuck spez

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 37 points 2 years ago

If Reddit goes through with their threat of removing their links from Google

Why the hell would they do that?

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 40 points 2 years ago

It's part of blocking 3rd party indexers because they think they're like tiktok, not a library

[-] seanziepples@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The only reason I visit Reddit anymore is because it's a vast sea of human experience and knowledge. Usually I just search Google with "[topic I'm interested in learning about] site:reddit.com".

This is amazing. If we can overtake Reddit in search indexing—or even just show up alongside it like this we’re completely set.

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 53 points 2 years ago

Futurama has one of the bigger communities on here. Lemmy needs more dedicated communities centered around a certain franchises, like Baldurs Gate or Futurama or live-action One Piece.

Made the full switch a couple days ago and already don't miss reddit at all. The community is smaller, yes, but that lends itself to better, more engaged discussion. People are here because they want to be not because its the only place offered.

Man, i joined lemmy about 2 months ago and because there are no free apps for reddit i haven't logged on there since then. Once people understand the instances they will feel at home.

[-] CustodialTeapot@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

There are some amazing apps and even web apps now

Fingers crossed that version 0.19 will bring more users on board 🥺

[-] arc@lemm.ee 31 points 2 years ago

I doubt anyone is hanging on for mostly technical / security changes in 0.19. The best way to improve uptake is to remove all the sand from the signup process which as it stands would scare away many people.

[-] American_Jesus@lemm.ee 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Since no one asked, here's Yahoo

Long, long screenshot

Preem! But I also wish these new Futurama episodes were better. They suck worse than the comedy central ones

Ddg is surprisingly alright. Bing surely has improved over the years.
