Almost certain this has already been mentioned, but subscribing to other communities outside of your instance is kinda clunky. Having to go to another site to browse their communities and plug whatever relevant community’s link into your own instance’s search?

Surely there has to be a better way to find other communities that doesn’t involve having to go to another instance’s website.

Hell no, not all the time. I’m sure it’d feel hot and stuffy wearing one of those.

Gee, what a surprise… 🙄

I have my own Searx instance setup and I search through that. Never thought of giving ChatGPT/Bing a try. But I might go that route if the search results quality keep getting worse and worse. It’ll definitely take some getting used to though.

I setup my own instance for this reason. Hope Lemmy gains much more traction when the “We’re totally not banning third-party apps” goes into effect.
