There are various privacy focused search engine like duckduckgo, startpage, brave, etc. available. Even tho everything have approximately same results maybe because of bing & google API.

But i wish atleast that privacy focused search engines replace their social media post related search link results with privacy focused platform links. Like,

Reddit to lemmy X to mastodon Instagram to pixelfed Youtube to youtube or piped (no good options)

Then it would also a good support for those platforms too… But will it happen ?

    There’s also a built-in filter for fediverse search, basically replacing the “reddit” usually added to the end of results.

      Unfortunately Lemmy is a lot more ephemeral than Reddit. If a post here gets deleted, it and the comment thread are basically gone. On Reddit deletion simply hides the post unless the post was of something illegal for Reddit to host. I really miss that behaviour.

      As a result, I doubt Lemmy will ever become a valuable backlog of information like Reddit.
