The biggest impediment to using lemmy as a less shitty SO/Reddit is that there simply isn’t the volume of answers here. Eventually there may be - and I’d argue that the quality of answer is generally better here - but currently there are a lot of questions that simply haven’t been asked.
The meme about googling site:Reddit comes out of how deeply shitty Google has let their search engine become. In an ideal world you’d just search on Google and get decent quality responses instead of needing to domain bind your results.
Maybe it’d be helpful to try a quality search engine like Kagi?

It was two-part, the other side was that reddit’s own search was so crap people use google search instead.
I feel like when the volume of answers does get to the point of usefulness it’ll be infected by the same corporate trash that took over Reddit.
