This is really sad for me. Appending reddit to Google searches was a way to get better information from the internet. Now that option is being polluted by reddit's terrible business model.
And adding reddit to searchers was a way to deal with Google's shit search results. Results that are riddle with AI created, SEO, crap that cannot be trusted because the way the sites make money is to sell things.
It's sad for me to say but, the web is dying because the advertising model is not working out. The investors/share holders need for increasing profits will eventually cause the destruction of the reason people used their products. Google search is a great example of this.
It has chaned for a long time and will change even more. It gets more and more manipulative and noisy. You bearly find "unbiasd" awnsers anymore
The current web economic model is dying, which was never meant to be the model to fit internet's nature on first place.
Is there a way to have a certain site not show up on a google search?
On DuckDuckGo you can use -site:reddit.com
you can add
-reddit.comif that is what you're asking.Yeah, hopefully once folks start posting how-to's here, adding "lemmy" to the end will be a good replacement. Personally, I want to make some Godot tutorials to get some SEO on these lemmy instances lol
A fedisearch function would be pretty cooltoo be honest.
