Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
I have one running in !beds@feddit.uk as otherwise there would be nothing in it other than the odd article I’d post manually. The idea is that I will remove it if the community grows enough that the bot is just adding noise. At the moment there’s minimal engagement, but I find it useful as I see the local news rather than looking for it elsewhere and having to post it.
1·7 days agoHmm, in theory I don’t have a problem with an AI telling me the answer to my question or whatever I’m searching for - but this isn’t a web search. If I’m actually searching for a particular page or context, then I want to be able to do that.
These are two entirely different things, and if Google goes down this route they aren’t a search engine anymore - they are an LLM provider.
There was a Lemmy search engine but I don’t think it is up any more.
Stract has a Fediverse “optic” but it doesn’t appear to be working.
Probably if you tell Google to search site:lemmy.world that is likely to be good enough.
