Under the gilded rays of the morning sun, I am seated, relishing the calmness of my recent dwelling. A week has passed since I made the move to this delightful cottage, and with each day, I uncover fresh wonders and delights. The alluring fragrance of blossoming flowers and the melodious twitter of feathered songsters outside my casement remind me of the splendor and purity of nature. I am filled with gratitude for this serene sanctuary that I now call my home.

Everything you’ve said is correct, however, there is an issue that the “this all just the fediverse” doesn’t address: when I’m looking for niche info about something, I usually add either “reddit” or “site:reddit.com” to the end of a web search, but with the fediverse, it’s kinda hard to replicate that. Adding “lemmy” or “kbin” to the web search wouldn’t exactly yield every possible result on the threadiverse since not every threadiverse instance uses those words in neither the URL nor the website itself. How would you handle that specific issue?
Yes, I think so. I have the same “problem” as you where I would much rather search for something than ask a question myself which in lights of recent events needs to change so that we can stop relying on sites such as Reddit asap.
The problem we have then is that search engines won’t change for the Fediverse. Maybe the SearXNG people could at least add the biggest instances as “preferred” targets in the search results or something. We probably won’t have a perfect solution for a while.
