What's a better alternative that you guys use (if there is one)?
Just asking because I've gotten a lot of great tech recommendations here on Lemmy :)
For the moment the best search engine I know of is googling something and appending 'site:reddit.com'
It's less useful than it used to be but still leagues ahead of Reddit
If you're willing to pay for it I've also heard good things about https://kagi.com/
I've been using Kagi for a few months and it has been exponentially better than Google. I wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for people talking about it on Lemmy, actually.
Duck duck go, is my current primary search. Work a look IMHO
Kagi. I thought it was a ripoff to pay for search but I tried the trial and started paying before the trial was even up, that’s how much better it is.
I use Ecosia, even though it has ads, but it uses 80% of its profits to support tree-planting projects.
I use duck duck go but also tik Tok depending on the type of thing I'm looking for.
