But why? Part of why reddit became so useful was its ability to use it for searching. Even though I no longer visit reddit regularly anymore, I still use
site:reddit.com
on many of my google searches because it gets better results for opinion or explanation based topics. Similarly, I found tons of useful local info from my local city's subreddit. I can't say the same about the Lemmy community, which I only see if I explicitly remember to go to it because the sorting doesn't show small instances.I... don't know. Performance? Doesn't matter anyway, because it's all federated.
You can do site: lemmy.world and find lemmy.ca posts since they're federated.
