We all know reddit was picking up the slack for google search and giving you real results from real people with real insight. I'm not going to lie: right now by trying not to click on the first reddit link I see in a google search, I dumber by the second.

What has your workaround been?

Not exactly an alternative, but a workaround:

https://cachedview.com is an indirect way to access reddit threads using Google's cache.

site:lemmy.* search term works to search the biggest Lemmy instances on Google. But it's gonna take some time to populate it with content and for search engine crawlers to index everything.

I been using SearXNG metadata search engine that can integrate results from multiple search engines to get better results.

I’m not sure that it will be wholly avoidable, but I’ll only be using it logged out will Adblock on. They will be getting nothing from me.
