YUP! Just spoke on the SearxNG Matrix folks: https://matrix.to/#/#searxng:matrix.org
And you CAN do !bangs for the Fediverse they said. !lemmy or !mastodon for instance. I didn't know that! I'll be posting more about this.
Why not share it here? WHy not free the information? Someone could delete their Reddit post or Google could change their algorithm again tomorrow to suit their own needs. We're currently accepting the old system that's showing it can't be trusted. I say free the information. I might be naive though, but I have to try at least.
I think all knowledge should be shared with everyone. And we have the opportunity to make sure that knowledge we're giving out stays free forever on the Fediverse.
Deleting them only deletes them visibily. They don't provide Reddit value for customers, but they're still in the system somewhere in backups or in a DB, etc.
But still, I'm saying, having conversations. Start talking more here. Ask and answer, find others with similar interests. Let's dog food this Fediverse!
Yeah we need to pivot to being more open. But not even just Lemmy. Post anywhere. Anyone can build anything. The Fediverse isn't Lemmy. I posted on Piefed.social. :-)
I'm not saying LEMMY specifically. I'm on Piefed Social. I'm saying ANYWHERE on the Fediverse. Find your platform, build your platform.
Love this. Yes anywhere on the Fediverse. I wonder if Searxng has a Fediverse search.
100% this. SHARE anything and everything. Pretend like the internet doesn't exist and it's day one. Build it.
Go for it! WE get to bikd it however WE want! And the Fediverse can sort by boosts. That's your 'this answer solved my problem' or hell even go back and edit your comment to indicate the post that solved your problem.
This is what I'm getting at. We can only control ourselves, so let's be tenacious in posting more here. Again it doesn't have to be a technical question. It could just be "hey I had this issue I fixed it withblah". Whatever you're passionate in.
Hi from piefed.social. we have alternatives to Lemmy world. We can literally go anywhere and talk. So let's spread out and talk. Takes the load and responsibility off of one instance.
Let's DO IT! :-)
