I don't like to fling poo at anything people are putting their heart into, but... I've been wondering who to be annoyed at about this.
libhunt (along with joyk, giters, pythonissues, libreddit, teddit, opensourceagenda, githubmemory, maybe some I'm forgetting?), is on the list of content-repackagey sites regularly eating up slots in the top 2 pages of search results for the exact name of my wee attention-starved project on ALL of google, ddg, and bing (it even eats 2 of the 5 paltry entries bing bothers to show on the first page of results!)
And, of course, none of the comparisons are relevant.
Constructively: it would be great if the developer would, at minimum, figure out where the roll-off point for not-popular-enough-to-get-decent-results is, and discourage search engines from indexing pages under the threshold.

- nyanpasu64 5y agoMinor note: libreddit and teddit are supposedly privacy-protecting low-JS Reddit frontends, rather than commercial site scrapers. I'm not sure if they live up to their reputation though.
- abathur 5y agoThanks for the note. I settled on "content-repackagey" because it was the closest I could get to a ~neutral common-denominator of their behavior, and I don't really want to directly judge their intent/purpose.
