Can you image how impossible it will be to search reddit WITHOUT using search engines?
The reddit search functions a joke. Everything about it frustrates me.
After 7 years I still have no idea how to search my own inbox for posts that I know I have - but no idea when or where. If Google can't help me find them - they might as well not exist.
If reddit wants to die so badly - this is the way to do it!
Ummm. What's lemmy position on this? I havn't looked to hard at sync for lemmy opinions (indeed, I only have a few dozen posts / inbox messages) but If it's the same as it was for reddit. It's also not great.
Turn on Never Ending Reddit, click in the middle mouse and scroll down, go take a shit, then come back and use ctrl+F
I'm about to get a hemorrhoid.
