One of the side effects of the reddit meltdown is that many search results were unavailable because of communities going private. It would be great if we could fill in the void with lemmy content instead.

    I heard that reddit has a dedicated cdn each for Microsoft and Google scraping. That’s why they work so well to search reddit posts. It will probably take some effort to feed data so we’ll from the fediverse.

    On that note, perhaps we should have some per-community as well as per-post scrape/noscrape toggle. Might be difficult to get buy-in from all parties.
