I only go back to Resdit when my Google search doesn't take me where I need to go.

Which, unfortunately, is far too often. In my recent experience..

I literally use Reddit to fix Google Search results when I actually need an answer. At the very least I'll typically find the starting string. Though that's less due to the quality of Reddit and more because of its longevity.

Sometimes Lemmy pops up on my google search! That always makes me smile

I've often found removed responses, which is a good thing, just makes my quest to find an answer harder.

At least use a redirect extension that gives you an alternative, lighter frontend. Teddit might be mostly gone, but there are still Libreddit instances alive and active. And on Android, Stealth still works.

Tried Kagi?
