Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Even this article knows.
If this goes through then my reddit usage will officially reach 0, as Google results are how I end up there nowadays anyway.
Same for me, only use it for questions on niche topics mostly, but if they remove themselves from google i won’t do that either.
Yup. It’s a huge shame, because
is often just as good as - if not better than - stackoverflow.
Ah well, guess we’ll all have to memorize some more computer science things…
Sure wish there was an easy way to do this with Lemmy.
It just sucks that we're gonna lose a decade of community knowledge on so many topics. Honestly if I have a question for the internet, whether it's dealing with bugs on my houseplants or buying water proof walking boots, I always add 'reddit' to my Google searches.
Shane there isn't a way to move it all on to a stackoverflow type site.
I use untrackme on Android to redirect Searx results to RedReader, and to redirect Voyager or Eternity to Stealth. I deleted all my accounts, I will delete those redirects if this happens.
ETA : I can't find the arstechnica article, but this has been a thing for awhile. Reddit search is garbage, you have always needed an outside search to find anything.
