Fediverse Searching

I was discussing this on another post and when we’re doing internet searches for any kind of information I feel we should be discussing that on the Fediverse or bringing back the info to the Fediverse.

But some folks brought up some excellent points that Kagi has a Fediverse bang.

I run SearxNG and asked in their Matrix channel: matrix.to/#/#searxng:matrix.org

possiblemeatball pointed out that SearxNG also has a Fediverse !bang . If you go to Preferences - Engines - Social media there are bangs for lemmy comments, lemmy communites, mastodon hashtags, etc. We need to be leveraging this!

What other search engines foster the Fediverse?

I was just pointed to fedi-search.com which seems awesome, but I haven’t leveraged YET!

I love Fediverse

ozoned@piefed.social on 14 May 15:08 collapse

I agree! <3 :-) And it's our chance to rebuild the internet!

kaeurennetwo@lemmy.world on 14 May 15:21 collapse

Yea but I hate the bullies here. Majority is bullying me.

ozoned@piefed.social on 14 May 15:25 next collapse

Block them. I can't do anything about the bullies, I won't bully anyone and if it comes off as bullying, maybe there's a misunderstanding from me.

We can only build our communities how we want them and ignore the rest. Bullying is going to happen sadly, but we have the opportunity to push that shit away and build a welcoming and wholesome community.

We'll disagree sometimes, but we need to do our best to be as respectful as possible.

Yea maybe blocking them is the best at the moment. But … All the best for me to do it. There are so many instances, no restrictions in making new accounts except for some instances. And other compatible software like piefed and mbin. They can move to there. I want to support Lemmy because of decentralisation but the support that I asked in Lemmy to me is lacking, including the need for me to be emotionally protected from bullying. Yeah I’ll do my best in handling the bullying

Sending best of vibes to you.

I wish I can leave fediverse. I’m not strong enough to be here

ozoned@piefed.social on 14 May 21:08 next collapse

Feel free to message me directly if you'd prefer. I'm here.

asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev on 15 May 06:58 collapse

Then leave

kaeurennetwo@lemmy.world on 15 May 07:16 next collapse

This comment is very short

asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev on 15 May 07:50 collapse

I agree

kaeurennetwo@lemmy.world on 15 May 07:58 collapse

Well

asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev on 15 May 08:02 collapse

yeah

kaeurennetwo@lemmy.world on 15 May 08:17 collapse

What are this?

asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev on 15 May 10:45 next collapse

What are that?

Kalvin I recommend you just block people and if their instance harasses you you can report them. While they might own their instance your instance, Lemmy.world might ban their entire instance and then they're totally gone.

ozoned@piefed.social on 15 May 11:52 collapse

Here's a thought, maybe not harass someone? Try to be kind and compassionate? You have 3 people on your instance, so I imagine that's just you or a friend's. Kalvin could of and looking at the comments here alone, should have, reported you to Lemmy.world and they could ban your entire instance. So why not just try to actually get along with folks?

asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev on 15 May 11:59 collapse

?

Are you defending this troll? Check their comment, post and modlog history, buddy.

Btw the 3 people are all me. 2 being bots I’m working on.

ozoned@piefed.social on 15 May 12:12 collapse

I'm looking and I'm not seeing a troll. I'm seeing someone that's looking for help and seems to not really understand a lot of what's around them buddy. And yes, I'll defend people.

Why are you spending so much time responding aggressively to people.

And yes, I kind of assumed it was your instance.

If the person is a troll, then ignore them. Why do you feel you have to attack them? You're not defending anyone by putting someone else down. Just because you don't understand them, doesn't make them a troll.

asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev on 15 May 12:16 collapse

Watch him get banned from every community he participates in then. I’ll keep playing with trolls.

Cheers.

ozoned@piefed.social on 15 May 12:18 collapse

Very sad. Good luck in whatever you do.

johntash@eviltoast.org on 15 May 05:55 collapse

Without knowing the context… make sure you report people who truly are bullying. Some instances may not do anything, but a lot do care and don’t tolerate bullying and harassment.

kaeurennetwo@lemmy.world on 15 May 06:33 collapse

What is that?

haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com on 15 May 08:16 collapse

Hahaha look at your comment history. Dont believe this troll clown. Not one comment with actual content, just rants and negativity.

What is that?

Noice! I am able to find this very thread through searxng, which seems to behave like an actual search engine with its own search results page, but I couldn’t find it through fedi-search, which seems to be little more than an auto redirect tool.

kaeurennetwo@lemmy.world on 14 May 17:31 next collapse

What is Searx

ozoned@piefed.social on 14 May 21:11 collapse

SearXNG is a self hosted search. Basically you go to your SearXNG instance, put in your search and it pulls from all kinds of different search engines to give your results.

Awesome! Glad to know it works so well! :-D

johntash@eviltoast.org on 15 May 05:57 collapse

Any idea how it knows which sites to look through? It’d be cool to have it prefer your own home instance in results.
