“I will never go back, it’s way better on Discord.”

One of Reddit’s biggest communities is suggesting users move to Discord r/malefashionadvice, the biggest Reddit community still inaccessible in protest of Reddit’s new API pricing, is encouraging its users to congregate on Discord and view guides on Substack.

    I didn’t know about Forum channels, thanks for the heads-up. Are they crawled by search engines, though? I feel like with people deleting their reddit posts and moving to discord, it’s already becoming a lot harder to find information online.

      Considering you don’t find Discord server logs on Google I’d say: No.

      Discord is its own thing.

      Google results have been down the drain for years, the only reasonable results I found were by appending reddit or site:reddit.com. Now even that is gone :-/

        Duckduckgo and Brave Search often shows Reddit results for me even without site:reddit.com. Though now because of how Lemmy works with all of these instances, we can’t easily use site: anymore. Hoping that search crawlers will be able to just index Lemmy/Kbin instances fine to pull the results in search engines in the future.
