    Keep in mind that your Google results are probably highly personalized. For instance, I tried googling that exact phrase (in a private window), and Lemmy doesnt appear for me at all.

      This was the first thing that came to my mind. So I tried again, using a VPN (exit server in the USA) and an incognito window. That screenshot came from that result.

        But did you try it from a different computer? While wearing a fake mustache? And typing with a fake french accent? Google is watching!

        Can confirm, I got it as the third result on mobile if in incognito. Don’t actually get the result without being in incognito which is odd, but it’s mobile too so results are always a bit different.

        Regardless, awesome to see that it’s up there at all!!

        While probably a valid enough test, keep in mind Google’s fingerprinting goes well beyond IP and what incognito applies. There’s a reason Tor Browser changes things like browser window dimensions every time you open it.

          And if they really decide to ban Google search indexing, Reddit will be permanently wiped from the face of the internet. It’s like going full stealth mode.

        At the very least, I’m sure they track the usual fingerprinting - geolocation etc.

    If Reddit goes through with their threat of removing their links from Google, then Lemmy will definitely win.

        It’s part of blocking 3rd party indexers because they think they’re like tiktok, not a library

          The only reason I visit Reddit anymore is because it’s a vast sea of human experience and knowledge. Usually I just search Google with “[topic I’m interested in learning about] site:reddit.com”.

            I’m honestly surprised someone at this point hasn’t just ported over all the comments from Reddit over to Lemmy, since they’re basically public domain comments from the human species that Reddit is just storing. IANAL.

              Probably because it’d take a ton of time and money (because of API limits and costs), and it’d potentially disrupt Lemmy too much.

              Reddit is a massive site, as far as how much content it’s stored over the years.

                I assumed that the people over in the DataHoarder communities had archives running this whole time. There’s probably data out there somewhere, it’s a matter of getting it into a usable hosted state

                I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some huge, semi-complete datasets of the site somewhere. Maybe the-eye has something? That would ease the process, since the content has already been hoarded.

                Also, the new posts of some subreddits are being copied live to the equivalent Lemmy communities by bots made for that purpose.

        Something to do with Reddit asking big tech companies to pay for AI training on its contents.

    This is amazing. If we can overtake Reddit in search indexing—or even just show up alongside it like this we’re completely set.

    Futurama has one of the bigger communities on here. Lemmy needs more dedicated communities centered around a certain franchises, like Baldurs Gate or Futurama or live-action One Piece.

    Made the full switch a couple days ago and already don’t miss reddit at all. The community is smaller, yes, but that lends itself to better, more engaged discussion. People are here because they want to be not because its the only place offered.

      I think you misspelled enraged.

      There’s no engaged discussion on here. If you have any opinion about paying for services, using Windows, or driving a car, you’ll be downvoted and attacked lmao.

      the era of the big corpo monosite has made people forget what it’s like to have more than one website, and even before that era websites didn’t really talk to one another all that much. with time people will learn, and the ones who can’t will drown in botspam on the decaying husks of corposites

    Man this wound me up. It’s not season 11, it’s season 8.

    That didn’t stop me downloading the wrong episode, time and time again. Same file, but it had completely the wrong name, and I need them all to say ELiTE or ETHEL consistently, otherwise it’s all just wrong.

      4 original seasons, plus movies, plus 3 more seasons. Not sure how it ended up as 11, seems the 6th and 7th seasons are divided up into 2 parts each, maybe the movies are counted as 2 as well?

      Each movie is the length of about 4 episodes.
