it always has to be something that sounds like it was thought up tiredly at 4am by the college freshman who coded it.
Or like something that got typed by that same college freshman by falling asleep and hitting their head on the keyboard.
we launched Mwmbl, the open source, non-profit search engine, on Boxing Day 2021
Oh and it's nonamerican too? Definitely going to try this out.
Off topic but when I googled this, I saw Lemmy post😁
The OP is from late 2023...
Oh, this looks awesome.
Does the actual search engine load for anyone else? It's telling me "We're sorry, but something went wrong".
Maybe it's the first ever Lemmy hug of death.
