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: https://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 https://fedi-search.com/ which seems awesome, but I haven’t leveraged YET!

    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

      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.

            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?

              ?

              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.

                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.
