I was going to say… the only times I ever used Reddit search, it just prompted me to question why I was wasting my time, then googling “xyz problem statement reddit”
I wonder why it sucked so much? I'm no expert in terms of crafting a search engine, but Reddit has not lacked funds for some years now
All their best people are focused on improving video playback

I always assumed that it increased engagement. Can't find what you're searching for? Put up a post asking (even though someone's already asked that question 1,000 times).
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.
This would be more noteworthy if the search was actually working for the first time ever
So business as usual?
People still use Reddit?
What is radit?
He's this dude from Dragon Ball Z, remember the "what's the scanner say about his power level" meme? That guy.
Oh. I always thought that was Napster.
No, you're thinking of the guitarist from Metallica.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No radrats
Nah, everyone’s moved onto Bluthatt and Oringethoz.
HAHA, as if it ever worked.
Wow, they really went all in alienating their user base.
What the fuck actually happened behind the scenes to cause all this? Like I get that some upper leadership is probably trying to cash out or something, but why? What is the motivation? What changed all of a sudden to cause this?
reddit search was never not broken

Yeah... whenever I wnted to find something on Reddit, I would use Google with reddit as a keyword

Good. Good. Let the dark side flow through you
That's nothing new, reddit search has always been broken.
😱 what year is it?!
