You know when you needed an answer to something and wanted the opinion of the masses. You could search “[how to topic] reddit” or filter with “site:reddit.com”.
So what now? Could i still do “best table Lemmy” or “how to do this Lemmy”?
This was my favorite use of reddit where you could get a bunch of answers for different topics.
This is a real concern. Google is already suffering from a marked decline in search result quality in recent months, add this to the mix and it may break the camel’s back.
Maybe the people who called “the internet” a phase were partly correct. Maybe we’re moving towards a less connected web, in a way.
