This is why

The long and short of it - Google search was designed at a time when the web was in its infancy. Basically just text and a few images.

Fast forward to today, and reddit is the only one that still allows its data to be crawled.

As media has become more social (basically all of it) the walled gardens prevent you from even viewing content without an account.

Every platform wants you to be searching inside their service.

Google is useless.

It’s the name of the fucking app for god’s sakes

Hurr durr, wank off on a bullshit forum for a bullshit app lol. Get a fucking life.

I’ve stopped using lemmy for the most part and sync so who da fuq knows.

I still don’t get notifications from sync.

Maybe for one liner discussions and smelling each other’s farts, but for in depth discussions is it not acceptable.

Yeah Capitalsim bad - every topic, capitalism bad.

FOSS is lemmys greatest strength and its biggest flaw. Too much foss nerdery on lemmy and it’s boring the average folk.

INB4 “servers cost money to run and constantly polling them for your enjoyment is not savvy business for the dev” 😮‍💨

Paying for push notifications… interesting

I don’t even receive hourly pull checks. No notifications at all. Anyone else?
