Are lemmy instances indexed properly as well? Would it be enough to put "lemmy" into the search

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)

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

I've definitely felt like my Google searches have been lackluster after a lot of subreddits went dark. from advices to game communities, it sucks to check other forums you have no knowledge of browsing or worse shudders quora

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

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.

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