One thing Reddit dominates on is search results. I’m looking things up and seeing so many links to reddit, which I guess is going to help keep that place relevant (unless those subreddits stay dark).
I wondered how Lemmy and this fed thingy stuff all works for that? With more posts can we expect to see people arriving through search results?
Would be cool to have a browser extension that can return searched terms from fediverse sources that you choose.
Making it a Searx plugin would probably do better in terms of making it accessible to a lot of people.
I wonder how good are various ActivityPub instances at searching. Having pregenerated fulltext indexes of public content available for download could go a long way to make building search engine easy and fast.
They need to make this a thing.
