Just found out that DuckDuckGo can be used to search Fediverse sites easily. (kbin.social)

If you didn't know, on DuckDuckGo you can search for posts or magazines with site:kbin.social just like you would with Reddit. The same applies to any other Fediverse site like Kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.. I was really frustrated because it seems like Google was intentionally suppressing them.

Why?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Because it puts a considerable strain on Kbin’s servers, because there is a lot of content to crawl.

I suspect (hope, even) that if Kbin runs on beefier hardware some time in the future, crawling can be enabled. However, since Kbin is completely free and devoid of ads, we would probably need to start a donation drive to make that happen.

Theres a buymeacoffee.com link in the About section at the bottom of the page.

I wouldn't even be opposed to awards to fund stuff, although I could see the slippery slope of money 😞
