I just found a post on the Fediverse community, it shows a new search engine designed to replace google's "site:reddit.com" search query. Hope it will work.
Right now the best way is to search from inside a lemmy instance itself. lemmy search finds much better results than what native reddit search used to give.
I searched "musk lemmy", ignoring the top results I got decent (considering the ages of the posts) results on Bing and Google.
I've noticed that lemmy is full of discussions about Twitter and Reddit, so that's probably the reason these kind of posts show up, but with niche topics it's a lot harder to find something. I've tried searching, even with the lemmy search engine, a post I made on c/Android using generic words, but I couldn't find anything at all.
Re: niche topics, it’s going to be people building from the ground up. There’s probably nothing there, because SO MANY PEOPLE have been invested in reddit for so long. Sad.
So much money to be made if they had listened to me, Mr. Weirdo Fingers.
Unfortunatly tons of data are still on reddit and I think it will be hard to recover them. There are some people who scrapped terabytes of posts and comments from Reddit so I hope they will be of some use in the future. Anyways, I should try finding more niche communities and engage with them
You betcha all that archived content is valuable. It’s already happening on Lemmy with bots. But not in a way that makes sense. they’re pretending engagement.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
