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.

Fun fact: Google has to pay royalties to Windsor Castle since they had a Keep product first.

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

Sync is great... Lemmy as a whole? Lots of work to do. Shit is pretty stagnant around here.

It's a bit weird not getting inbox notifications. Any ETA when this will be added? Am I on the wrong version or something?

Very little information contained here, and riddled with ads. Thanks for the effort I guess.

Can we actually have a discussion on what's at hand here instead of knee jerk reactions?

Perhaps you had to have been there for all the "building better worlds" and "bringing people together" horseshit every silicon valley company was spewing since the dot com boom in the 2000's

It's not an actual promise so don't act pedantic. The point is- society was sold these concepts and ideas as solutions to existing problems, and they've instead become bigger and more expensive problems.

And it's so outdated too. The iPhone was a "cool" status symbol in like 2010 and 2014. Not so much when everyone has them.

Wondering if it's just me. What will it take for Lemmy to be higher in the search results / public consciousness?

Hey all, I've not really noticed that I haven't been getting notifications due in part because I haven't been using Lemmy for long, and 2 - Sync is still in its early stages as well, working out the kinks.

Sync doesn't seem to have comprehensive notification settings, but even with what its got, I've realized I'm not getting notifications at all.

Anyone else?

They're referring to what you have observed, you are looking for and wanting to see Iphones.

At this point, many people have been bailing from the server due to the uptime issues. What's the rub?

I'm still not getting any 🤫

Because although other apps have some of the features of Sync - none have all.

It's really as simple as that, in conjunction with the familiarity aspect. Why fix what ain't broke?

They may not be your feature set, you may not care if a developer is active with your community, but many do.

Can't wait to delete all the other lemmy apps I've been trying. Most do most things well, but none do everything well like Sync.
