Hello all. Like many new users, I am a reddit refugee. Please forgive me if this isn’t the best community for my question; I am still learning my way around here.
I am used to google searching “[THING] site:reddit.com” when I want to see the opinions of real people on a topic rather than the flood of clickbait articles you get nowadays with Google.
What is the best way to execute this type of search within the Fediverse rather than Reddit?
Right now I don’t think there’s anything of that sort. And I’m not sure if there ever will (or should) be one in the future.
The more Mastodon-y parts of fedi heavily look down on this sort of global search, as microblogging of that sort is generally a lot more personal compared to the community oriented focus of Lemmy/kbin. And it’s going to be pretty difficult to handle that in a way that both parts of the fediverse will be happy about, without giving abuse tools to people in the more “channy” corners of fedi.
