  • Yeah it sucks, and you cannot get good search results anywhere.
    Not that you have many different options anyways…

    Lemmy search is only searching for exact text you searched for. There is somewhat useful option to search only post titles.

    Piefed search at least has some filters (nsfw, post type, instance software, minimum score…) and search operators (and, or, not…) but it doesn’t have the search only post titles option.

    Sometimes searching in google and just appending “lemmy” to your query will give surprisingly good result and sometimes it will return nothing.

    Searxng has the search !bang for lemmy posts !lepo, which gives more or less the same results as lemmys search.























  • I finally made a full switch from Sync to Thunder, because even though I know that Sync dev does take huge breaks and he comes back and fixes everything and makes the app even better, I still wanted to make sure I find a good alternative and get familiar with it just in case.

    Thunder is a really good app, especially considering its age. It also has the most features and the nicest UI (IMO) among the Lemmy apps. And it being open source is a huge plus too.

    Sync is still my favorite, it just feels really nice to use, but I’ll stay on Thunder for now.

    Voyager is also a really nice app that feels polished and works smoothly, but it’s lacking certain features that I like. So I keep it installed as a backup but I don’t use it often.
