Its probably going to drop a lot more now that they require sign in to view once public, indexed threads on google. It was a decent repository of knowledge while it lasted
I knew it was the beginning of the end when they dropped the free API access. Corporate enshitification.
I could see it too and deleted my reddit account then, it's a shame lemmy doesn't have a useful search tool though.
I wonder what the active dev community on Lemmy looks like? These are problems that could potentially have solutions?
last I checked (about a year ago) part of the issue was morons claiming "privacy" concerns
Couldn't communities desiced themselves if they want their forums to be indexed?
that would make it worthless
