Yeah. I hope it can compete with the bigger search engines someday.

I do like SearXNG over Kagi due to their prcing and AI bs but Kagi really just has better search results.

There are no recommendation algorithms like in YouTube or TikTok here, if posts that are alike and get sonewhat the same amount of high votes, you most likely will see them one after the other. There isn't a way around it really.

Anyways, it's better if you subscribe to communities and mainly uss the subscribed feed along with a good algorithm like Scaled (gives a boost to posts in communities that aren't as active as the others) or maybe just Active.

I rarely use the All feed, only when I try to find new communities honestly.

agreed

Sure.

Self host your own database and synchronize it that way.

I usually lock posts that violate rule 5, for example. But usually remove ones that violate rule 1,3 or 4.

As a fellow lemmy mod, I think that the post you mentioned that is about archive.org recovering should have been removed, because it just does not fit the theme of the community, regardless of whether it was made in good faith or not. You also shouldn't always rely on what the members of the community say, you need to have your own judgement as a mod and make rational decisions.

I'd have to disagree on that one

Convenience or privacy? Choose.

You can store them in the browser locally.

Well, yeah. It's pretty much the same as SearXNG. Except paid, closed source and needs an account to function. The results are better though, I'll give you that.

...and the pricing is absurd. I'd like to disable all the AI bullshit and get a discount.

If it was self hostable, I'd always recommend it over SearXNG. Let's say that it's a better but closed source and paid SearXNG alternative.

There is no natural way to get your hair to stay flattish. If your hair is poofy, it will stay poofy. You can use hair stylers or hair gels to form it the way you want, but that of course won't be permanent and will cause damage in the long run.

Normal distros

• Pop!_OS
• Mint
• Fedora
• Ubuntu

Gaming distros

• Garuda
• Bazzite
• Nobara

...or any other distro really. I've been gaming on vanilla arch linux. It's pretty stable and low maintenance once you're done setting it up and don't tinker much and have backups with something like Timeshift in place. archinstall script makes it really easy to install vanilla arch linux with everything essential configured.
