Currently, people looking for alternatives for Reddit on Google will see Lemmy listed first.
Yeah, it’s most likely caused by Google profiling OP and showing what it thinks OP wants to see.
Out of interest, I just entered “Reddit vs” into DuckDuckGo (which is a search engine that doesn’t profile its users, and it gets most of its search results from Bing). I got the following search suggestions:
- reddit vs quora
- reddit vs twitter
- reddit vs discord
- reddit vs anime
- reddit vs facebook
I can’t believe that anime made the list but Lemmy didn’t lol
Have you done that search on a privacy respecting browser? Because that search is probably profiled from your data.
Who even uses Quora? The interface is such garbage, I can't even tell what's sponsored content and what's not. Sometimes you'll start reading an answer and then realize it's for a different question than the one the page is about.
Honestly, can we get other content than Lemmy vs Apollo? I’m here for about 2 days and it’s mostly all just content shit talking about Reddit…
That should come in time. Reddit is the main reason many are coming to Lemmy in the first place so that’s what most of the discussions revolve around. As people start to settle in we should see some growth in communities.
I'm not shitting on Reddit, I'm just wondering where those looking to migrate are heading, this is a thread about a situation directly impacting Lemmy, and the question I am trying to solve is if those looking for new home will consolidate or will be diluted among many alternatives. A post-Reddit thread if you will.

Nice. They really need to fix the Windows PC browsing experience though, the auto filling new posts that pop up and push shit down is gonna really grind any new people's gears. It's almost unusable on a browser right now.
I think it was solved in 0.18.
As soon as all instances manage to make a successful update the problem should be gone.
Lemmy is the BEE'S KNEES!!! Once you have all your communities set up... It's SUPERIOR to R
FYI - the results you see are unique to you. Other people doing the exact same thing can see a different set of results.
Do you know what criteria Google uses for the results? For example, If I clear cookies in my browser and I'm not logged in, is it using my geographical area?
I have two ISPs, and my router balances between them. One is satellite, so the IP is in a different state. I have noticed a difference in YouTube suggestions based on which connection is being used, but I haven't seen much difference on Google.
You can help keep it bumped up just by googling it yourself. While you're there, if anyone feels like it, we could use a review on SourceForge.net which is currently missing some data on our service.
As it should be! I tried out some of the alternatives, but they didn't really have the same feel as Reddit did
