Doesn't matter how good the content is if I have to fight the interface to get to it.
Lack of search really makes it hard to find a discussion on anything, which is what I used reddit for. I hope its a thing that gets implemented eventually.
It took Reddit years to become what it is today. And the native search function was ass. Google made the damn thing easier.
Memmy has a search function, and it works for now since the content is much smaller. But if it grows it won’t be that great. But so far I’ve been able to find specifics of what I’m looking for.
But reddit search also sucks, TBF.
There's a multitude of proposed improvements and changes being made to lemmy, so it's something.
I’m using Memmy and I can search.
Well that is what new Reddit feels like to me.

several lemmy instances host this port of the old reddit interface at old.example.com
The lemmy interface is fine. It's the reddit one I'm sick of dealing with.
