One of the best things about reddit was looking for answers or other users with the same problem as you, and since Google didn’t really help with that anymore and instead insisted on giving you business results, the best practice was to put your search terms in followed by ‘reddit’ and you’d find your answer.

      Yeah I meant just a neat way of searching for user posts.

      Google probably ingrained a little so that’s what I gravitate to, but if there are better ways of searching that’s helpful too. Having a search engine do it is good because you might come across old forum posts as well as Reddit, but over the years Reddit just became more prevalent. Obviously these new federated sites won’t yet have all the usable content, but I’m wondering if the process will be the same once they do.

      Honestly if this gets as popular as reddit, it would be better than Google eventually.
