They are getting rid of old.reddit. I am calling it.

I would wager most of the old.reddit users are on lemmy now.

If not, soon.

The big thing will be consolidating all that useful information stuck on there to somewhere search engine readable.

What'd be the feasibility of making a search engine, that actually works, to search for only reddit? Without all the bullshit.

Eh? I lemme rewind a bit.

Reddit has a lot of info. Have you wonder why nowadays to do a proper Google search people tag on "reddit" at the end to bypass SEO bullshit?

What I'm saying is it'd be nice if we can get most of that info moved over to the fediverse. It's brought up cuz a lot of groups are moving to discord which can't be searched.

Okay, yeah, I'm out of the loop with all the SEO stuff. Thinking about it, yeah jve had to do that a bit.

I didn't realise. My bad.

Well we all knew old.reddit was going to die, they told us they will eventually shut it down, ever since redesign.

They might eventually make it inaccessible, but getting rid of it would take an enormous amount of work.
