As an example: I was doing a search for the best sesame substitute today. Everything that came up was things like, “11 Best Sesame Substitutes,” and I know for a fact that just about everything they suggested tastes nothing like sesame. Just another site trying to get hits. So I added reddit.com into my search parameters and immediately got some decent answers.

I really hate that I have to do that to get anything useful, but there is a ridiculous amount of useful information on Reddit. I hope the fediverse gets to this point as well one day.

Anway, just needed to vent. Lemmy on.

      With the way federation works it will take some doing, and knowledge of various sites names, but you can do this by adding “source: sitename” to your search

      Fediverse is uniquely difficult to do this with though, as traffic is (relatively) low per individual site and you’ll need various names
