    Fixing the search up would be a better use of their time.

      That doesn’t have the works “AI” in it which means stocks don’t go up :(

    More seriously, this might trigger another migration wave to Lemmy

      I’m as pro-Lemmy as the next Lemming, and even I know this isn’t enough to move the needle.

      The userbase is exactly like Twitter.

      Quora is sooo bad, the sign in or you can’t view the page is on an another level of hell.

      To be fair there’s no possible way they could downgrade from the old version.

        You’d be surprised. At least it gave you more or less relevant results based on keywords, and it gave you proper comments. Now there’s no telling when it will just make shit up or wholly misinterpret the stuff it links to, like those LLMs all end up doing.

          I never once got a useful result from their search. It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

            Eh, maybe, I just ignored the feature for the most part. I’d just rather not find something than being fed bullshit by an AI. Search engines are a thing, too.

    I was try to work out a bug in some software. Searched DDG and found the exact question I had, posted 4 years ago. With 5 replies each saying I have the same problem did you ever fix it, the latest being days ago.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
