I was discussing this on another post and when we're doing internet searches for any kind of information I feel we should be discussing that on the Fediverse or bringing back the info to the Fediverse.

But some folks brought up some excellent points that Kagi has a Fediverse bang.

I run SearxNG and asked in their Matrix channel: https://matrix.to/#/#searxng:matrix.org

possiblemeatball pointed out that SearxNG also has a Fediverse !bang . If you go to Preferences - Engines - Social media there are bangs for lemmy comments, lemmy communites, mastodon hashtags, etc. We need to be leveraging this!

What other search engines foster the Fediverse?

I was just pointed to https://fedi-search.com/ which seems awesome, but I haven't leveraged YET!

Any idea how it knows which sites to look through? It'd be cool to have it prefer your own home instance in results.

Noice! I am able to find this very thread through searxng, which seems to behave like an actual search engine with its own search results page, but I couldn't find it through fedi-search, which seems to be little more than an auto redirect tool.

Awesome! Glad to know it works so well! :-D

What is Searx

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

SearXNG is a self hosted search. Basically you go to your SearXNG instance, put in your search and it pulls from all kinds of different search engines to give your results.

Hahaha look at your comment history. Dont believe this troll clown. Not one comment with actual content, just rants and negativity.

What is that?

Block them. I can't do anything about the bullies, I won't bully anyone and if it comes off as bullying, maybe there's a misunderstanding from me.

We can only build our communities how we want them and ignore the rest. Bullying is going to happen sadly, but we have the opportunity to push that shit away and build a welcoming and wholesome community.

We'll disagree sometimes, but we need to do our best to be as respectful as possible.

Yea maybe blocking them is the best at the moment. But .... All the best for me to do it. There are so many instances, no restrictions in making new accounts except for some instances. And other compatible software like piefed and mbin. They can move to there. I want to support Lemmy because of decentralisation but the support that I asked in Lemmy to me is lacking, including the need for me to be emotionally protected from bullying. Yeah I'll do my best in handling the bullying

[–] johntash@eviltoast.org 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Without knowing the context... make sure you report people who truly are bullying. Some instances may not do anything, but a lot do care and don't tolerate bullying and harassment.
