Google's AI deal with Reddit is having another benefit, giving the dominant search engine a major advantage in surfacing current results from the social media platform.

at least we have competitions

    Kagi can still search Reddit content tho (blocked part of url because I have Kagi rewrite url to redirect to my private Redlib instance)

    I think this is because they use some sources from Google and Brave?

      I have the assumption that kagi’s results from reddit have gotten sparse lately. but maybe it’s just me

        I setup a Lens so that if my query contains a single letter ‘r’', only Reddit results will be returned.

          I still append reddit to my query. it shows a handful of reddit links at the top. the rest are just random sites.

          One time, I even came across a SEO optimized site that had the word “reddit” scattered all over with nothing but nonsense.

            Yeah, always site:reddit.com if I need it, SEO spam has gotten so trashy.
