come on we all go to reddit when we need to find some information because its almost always guaranteed to be there

Most of us dumped Reddit when third party apps went away. I personally haven't been back to Reddit since creating a Lemmy account. Screw that place; they don't deserve my patronage anymore. Or anyone's, for that matter. Continuing to use their content is justifying their shitty business practices. It'll never get better if people keep enabling it.

Also, what specific info are you searching for that Reddit can provide? Their search function has always been garbage. Or are you referring to general content and/or subs that don't have an active userbase here yet?

Their search function has always been garbage

Yes, but Google's is very good. And it frequently returns links to Reddit.

Google indexes Reddit, it does not index the fediverse

That sounds incorrect. What's your source?

Previous experience that may no longer be relevant if it is actually doing so now
