I literally couldn’t find Lemmy.world on Google by searching Lemmy.world, it was wild to see that.
Try finding an OLD article about something that just hit the news. Impossible. And it amazes me that Quora and Pinterest (garbage questions in, garbage answers out) to be always at the top, shining.
Also, search symbols like using double quotes for exact matches or a minus sign to remove a keyword from the match… They don’t fucking work anymore.
You can add date restrictions in Google search. Very helpful.
Google heavily prioritizes .com, .org and other similar “popular” top level domains.
.world, . travel and similar ones are heavily penalized in Google’s ranking for search results.
I can see it on the localized version of Google where I’m at.
