I have many of those, mainly because I've been a premium subscriber for 9 years. Well, not anymore.

They just piled up over time since I rarely awarded anyone.

I stopped using Google because of this specific reason.

Kagi, hands down, is by far the best search engine I've ever used (next to Neeva, which got bought and shut down) without looking for Reddit results all the time.

Just simple searches like "Best gaming headphones" or "Realtek Driver Download" and comparing them with Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Startpage, etc. shows how the quality of the results are far superior.

And you can directly define, which sites you'd like to see higher / more results of or less - or even completely block or pin them to the top.

Also, it also shows you directly, before visiting a site, in colors if a site has a very high number of ads and/or trackers.

And they support for power users custom CSS to adjust everything, URL rewrites (e.g. change all Reddit URLs to old.reddit or to automatically open libreddit or archive.org versions), DDG and custom bangs, and much more.

Lastly, I created a so-called "Lens", which allows me to search Lemmy / Kbin content only (also still have one for Reddit).
Meaning with one click, it shows me results from only sites or keywords I've defined - see image.

Very satisfied with it, can only recommend.

Yeah, I totally get that. Made me feel a little unwell at the beginning as well, but considering that search is one of the main, key features I use daily, multiple times, it is totally worth it.

I pay for a search engine, because:

  • High-quality search results
  • No ads
  • High customizability
  • No weird SEO optimized Website results which help me not at all, and I lose hours in a year clicking them, going back and looking for another result
  • Did I mention no ads or sponsored content?

+1 been with Namecheap for many years and have many domains with them. Also very happy with their support.

I think we should keep the decision on the users what they want to see or don't want to, as long as its legal - similar to the piracy magazines or others.

Maybe block it by default, but allow users to opt-in / remove the block?

By the way:

You can see all threads from an instance by using the following URL on Kbin (not on Lemmy):

https://kbin.social/d/[instance-url]

^ the /d stands for domain.

e.g.: https://kbin.social/d/lemmy.ml

On the same page, you can block the whole instance.

Hm, just installed the app, but sadly it seems to crash right when opening. Using a Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 (folded).

That would be great.

Especially the possibility to switch it left/right dynamically, which would be great for **mobile usage"" depending on if you use the left or right hand. And clicking the image would actually expand it, instead of opening the thread.

After testing many, I stayed with Inoreader on desktop and mobile.

I like the design and the features.

Also, I created a simple userscript for desktop, which automatically loads the full article when I click on one.

Or you can move the button to expand the image also to the left/right depending on where your thumbnail is.

That's basically what I liked most about the Relay app for Android - easily switch between left and right depending on how I hold my phone.
