I’m not seeing that option anywhere. Nor does it allow me to change the “weight”. I found a github discussion saying it should show up after you save the settings, but I tried that on two instances and didn’t get any unique URL.
Ah, I found it under the “cookies” tab. Needs to be more obvious IMO.
it’s as good or better than
It’s only as good as the search engines you select. Which ones have you selected?
I checked it out, but most of the public instances I looked at use google + bing. I think I only came across one that used Mojeek, but they deranked it so google results were still at the top.
Yeah you can customize them – if you never clear your cookies.
Pretty much need to self-host it to customize it.

There’s a github issue requesting this feature.
I haven’t observed that on Lemmy or Mastodon.

What do you use instead?
The links just need to have a “no follow” attribute (which is something that Lemmy could add, if they haven’t already).
Sounds like a good suggestion to make on github. I don’t know how easy it would be to do that for only reddit links, and I’m not sure how the devs would feel about that.
Also, from your link:
The correlation for the number of “dofollow” backlinks is a little bit weaker than that of the total number of backlinks.
Here’s what Tim said about this:
This could be an indication that Google values some nofollowed links from strong pages more than followed links from weak pages. #whoknows Tim Soulo Tim Soulo, CMO Ahrefs
Take this finding with a large pinch of salt. The primary aim of this study was not to analyze the impact of nofollowed vs. followed links and as such, we didn’t make any effort to isolate this factor.
But even if we assume that nofollowed links have no direct impact on SEO, they can still have an indirect impact because: They help diversify your link profile
Natural backlink profiles are diverse.

Yeah, this is just manufactured drama. The screenshots showing what preceded his comment show the whole thing to clearly be bait for the purpose of creating drama.
The problems would only get exacerbated if more of them migrate over here, that’s the issue.
I doubt that it would make Lemmy significantly worse. I’ve already had to block nearly a hundred lemmy communities for containing the “mindless trash” that is abundant on reddit. The reality is that most people aren’t smart and don’t want to browse and participate in intellectual content. They want to mindlessly scroll through endless memes. I have not observed that people on lemmy are overall more intelligent than people on reddit.
I don’t think so. I think Lemmy already & inherently has many of the same problems. People are people, no matter where you go.
Lemmy is only better because it’s not centrally controlled.
I think it’s essential to have one or more communities like this. There were a few on reddit – watchredditdie, declineintocensorship, and more. The admins shut them down. I was unsuccessful in getting them to move over to Lemmy.
Absolutely the same things happen on lemmy. It’s to be expected from both mods and admins. We need to have a place we can go to find out “which are the bad communities & instances”.
The main problem I foresee is that those “watchredditdie and declineintocensorship” subs seemed to be well modded and mostly populated with intelligent people. In contrast, lemmy seems to have quite a lot of trolls, unintelligent people, and likely astroturfing. That will make things more difficult.
Thanks for the info!
I may add options to modify the exported data in some ways via a simple checkbox in the future, but I wouldn’t count on it.
The 2nd screenshot https://github.com/StableNarwhal/Lemmy-Userdata-Migration/wiki/How-to-only-export-or-transfer-a-part-of-my-user-data,-e.g.-blocked-instances%3F shows that feature already exists?
What about forking lasim, which is now inactive? https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
It’s better than the built-in option because it gives you more options. For example, if I only want to add blocks from one account to another without overwriting any other settings. I don’t see that your tool allows for that.
What does it default to? Google+bing+DDG?
