That’s a cool idea. There have been somewhat related discussions, but I can’t find any exactly like that. Maybe you should file an issue on GitHub for them?

yea, the 22nd

I haven’t used Jerboa in a while, but I know Boost supports almost all of the search features

something on your end? my top result is from lemmy.world

maybe try opening the link in Private Mode or Incognito

There’s no objection here https://www.google.com/search?q=Lemmy+wouldn’t+really+takeoff+to+replace+Reddit+until+it’s+content+is+search+indexable

An example fix from over a year ago https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418

Like, not being able to search for specific issues, people, or any other topic already posted even within your own instance is my biggest issue with Lemmy not being a sufficient replacement.

The search page does allow all of this.

/search

You can filter by type (post, user, community, etc), Local/All/Subscribed, searching within a community, choosing a sort option or restricting to past year/month/week… I think it’s much better than Reddit’s search.

I don’t think this is true, Lemmy is already using rel="canonical" which should be telling Google what the real URL is, like here on programming.dev I see this in the page source

<link data-inferno-helmet="true" rel="canonical" href="https://lemmy.world/post/19493729">

which is why the Google results for this search don’t show a million different instances mirroring it

Here was the discussion about it where it was fixed last year https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418

but Lemmy already does show up on Google results

The Duke was so good!

I love this song! great video too lol

Consolidating is hard because I’m a bit of a hoarder so I can’t stand to unsubscribe from any of them lol. I don’t mind the duplicate posts so much. But maybe someone can suggest which of those communities can be skipped in favor of others.

There are so many communities for games (too many…) I’ll try to stick with the most active ones that haven’t been mentioned yet

• !adventuregames@lemm.ee
• !opensourcegames@lemmy.ml
• !pcgaming@lemmy.ca (this one actually has too many posts lol, sort by Active or New Comments or something)
• !pcgaming@lemmy.world
• !retrogaming@lemmy.world
• !speedrun@sh.itjust.works
• !virtualreality@lemmy.world
• !steam@lemmy.ml
• !gog@lemmy.world
• !gamedeals@lemmy.world
• !gamedeals@lemmy.zip
• !freegames@feddit.uk
• !freegames@lemmy.ml

you might need this feature before it can be done easily https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987

It’s already been in beta testing for a little while so probably releasing soon! Of course that’s a bit of a risky change lol so I’ll be waiting and see if any bugs are discovered in the weeks after release.

Beehaw has given up on Lemmy (Or just given up in general? They aren’t taking care of what they have nor have they moved to something new).

They’re still on v0.18.4 despite v0.18.5 being an extremely easy and safe update with a hotfix for an issue they were specifically complaining about. Literally takes like a couple minutes to do that update but they never did it. They’re also keeping themselves open to at least 1 security issue by being on such an old version.

yea but the new parallel sending feature should help them more, we’ll see when it gets released

spreading out a bit would be nice, although there are some things that could help some of these issues anyways

• federation: parallel sending per instance
• Federate lightweight list of communities to ease discovery / find remote communities (helps “every community listed there has a much higher chance of visibility compared to an alternative hosted on another instance”)

Why not post to both with Lemmy’s cross-post feature?

Lol yea. Very nice that Lemmy supports old threads unlike Reddit, the forums-style “New Comments” sort is such a good alternative to the other sorting methods. It should reduce the “need” for reposts, especially combined with Lemmy’s nice auto-search when making a post.
