Appending “site:reddit.com” to a Google search has become a popular trick for weeding SEO farms and other attention-seeking websites out of Google results, but if this change goes through, you might not be able to access Reddit from search at all.
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.
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.

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.
Sure wish there was an easy way to do this with Lemmy.
