    I’ve been searching on Google for info that I mostly find on Reddit. I’ve come across several deleted posts and I’m like man I need that piece of info :(. But I get it because I deleted my long-time account too. Hopefully we’ll soon build Lemmy to become a helpful source.

      You can still find those answers without giving Reddit any ad revenue. All you have to do is take the link from Google copy it. Go up to the URL bar and type cache: and the link.

      You used to be able to open the hamburger menu next to Google search results and directly view a cached page. This is doing the same thing, Google just took away the button.

      Maybe I’m just dumb, but looking for posts on Lemmy via Google doesn’t seem to redirect me to any post on Lemmy? For example ‘Beginning tips running lemmy’, doesn’t redirect me to the !running@lemmy.world community even though there’s definitely a post about it with helpful information.
