Parts of the Internet now only searchable on specific sites now? What next - charging a monthly subscription to use Google?

This needs to be regulated before the Internet becomes like streaming TV.

Thank you Lemmy, for making it so much easier to walk away from that dumpster fire!

Alright then. The 3rd party app drama already pushed me here. I really won’t go back for anything if I’m not allowed to search for Reddit anymore.

And Brave Search

test site:reddit.com works fine from DDG for me.

This shouldn’t be allowed

Well that’s annoying. One work around is to use a redirect extension like Libredirect and you can still search via the !reddit bang on DuckDuckGo. Thusly if I type into my search bar which has DuckDuckGo as default:

!reddit some new post or topic, it will search reddit for the search term, then when it attempts to load the reddit page, the libredirect extension will redirect and show the results.

Requires a bit of configuring and sure is annoying, but hey, no Google search necessary to get the up to date reddit threads.
