Hasn't RSS support been dropping these last few years? Last I heard was that RSS was dying, though I don't know how true that is.

Does lemmy and other fediverse stuff currently have such a huge bot problem?

It seems really great actually. Thanks for the rec. Might selfhost it. But I also get the argument of Kagi if one doesn't want to rely on the search results of Google/Bing/DDG or whatever. Even if I definitely prefer FOSS.

Thanks, I definitely prefer this alternative. How does searxng work in general?

Kagi has definitely been on my radar, but it sounds a bit weird (for lack of a better word) to pay for search. I've never even thought about it. Maybe it's worth it...

 

I've had real issues trying to search the fediverse. I've had bad luck with the search function of both Lemmy and Mbin, and while https://fedi-search.com/ exists the Whoogle server is down and either way the search just seems to be a list of various fediverse instances and nothing fancier (which also means that it's not a complete search?). Other than that it's quite the hassle to list all the instances you'd like to search for every search. What's the best way to search the fediverse? What works for you? And is it somehow possible to add a shortcut to e.g., DDG that searches specific sites without having to type for example site:lemmy.dbzer0.com and all the other instances all the time?
