A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You can prepend a link with "cache:" to view Google's cached version of the site. This works automatically with the url bar in at least Firefox and Chrome (likely other browsers as well). If your browser doesn't support that you can enter it in the google search bar and the result will be the cached version of the site (if available)

100% has this happen today. Wanted and answer, the only answer was on Reddit, and the Google link was busted.

So... How is Lemmy set for SEO?

[–] emstuff@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

SEO as a concept needs to die. dont get me wrong i want Lemmy to show up in google results but doing that by spamming keywords and unrelated “related” posits is not the move

Wait until Google bots catch up and drop many of the links back to Reddit.

I've made a bad habit of attaching the word "reddit" to the end of too many of my searches even for questions that I should be looking for their answers in trusted sources instead of taking answers from random redditors the blackout has helped a little with avoiding that.

Didn't notice since I use Kagi...

I did notice that Kagi now informs us about how much tracking and shit the sites are using. It's an info badge for each url.

kinda think we need a search engine that can index fedirated sites . like lemmy /mastedon /pleroma .etc .etc

searching for help with technical /specific things has become a nightmare .as al the usefull subreddits have gone dark due to the ongoing protest . making google not so helpfull at all to use
