Just add “Reddit” to the search string
Reddit is what the internet used to be back when it was useful.
- Aeolun 4y agoSort of, the huge subreddits are just as much a hellhole as the majority of google.
- diarrhea 4y agoSure, but you wouldn't search site:reddit.com/r/worldnews change a tyre but rather (just an example) site:reddit.com/r/diy change a tyre There are countless small(er) subreddits where a Google 'site:' search works wonderfully. Often, I don't specify a subreddit at all if the query itself is narrow enough.
- InitialLastName 4y agoNonfunctional on contemporary cell phones?
- toqy 4y agoWorks decent if you both have a powerful phone and sign in and disable the nag to download the app
- flenserboy 4y agoUsenet will always reassert itself in one form or another.
- afterburner 4y agoI use this especially for any consumer product comparison or "best" search; otherwise you just get monetized BS articles
- drstewart 4y agoReddit has very strong biases and its own bubbles as well. Don't expect to be exposed to a wide variety of viewpoints there, but what appeals to a very narrow demographic (18-30 year old low-income white progressive American males)
- grumple 4y agoUnfortunately, I find Reddit results to generally be of very low quality. For tech related searches, stackoverflow and direct links to documentation are far superior. Where reddit is occasionally useful is when searching for things like "what's the best service for X?", but even then I find myself wading through many posts and many comments on those posts before I come across a sliver of useful information.
