After watching the 2nd episode of 11th season of Futurama, I googled "Futurama S11E02 discussion" (without quotes) and Lemmy.world was the 2nd result. We can do it, guys.
Keep in mind that your Google results are probably highly personalized. For instance, I tried googling that exact phrase (in a private window), and Lemmy doesnt appear for me at all.
This was the first thing that came to my mind. So I tried again, using a VPN (exit server in the USA) and an incognito window. That screenshot came from that result.
Can confirm, I got it as the third result on mobile if in incognito. Don’t actually get the result without being in incognito which is odd, but it’s mobile too so results are always a bit different.
Regardless, awesome to see that it’s up there at all!!
While probably a valid enough test, keep in mind Google's fingerprinting goes well beyond IP and what incognito applies. There's a reason Tor Browser changes things like browser window dimensions every time you open it.
And if they really decide to ban Google search indexing, Reddit will be permanently wiped from the face of the internet. It’s like going full stealth mode.
Please, for the love of the internet, never feel like you can't contribute and keep things fun, interesting, and completely weird. That's how we take back what we all love.
... and while there's no reason to state the obvious I'll say it anyway. Fuck spez
The only reason I visit Reddit anymore is because it's a vast sea of human experience and knowledge. Usually I just search Google with "[topic I'm interested in learning about] site:reddit.com".
I'm honestly surprised someone at this point hasn't just ported over all the comments from Reddit over to Lemmy, since they're basically public domain comments from the human species that Reddit is just storing. IANAL.
I assumed that the people over in the DataHoarder communities had archives running this whole time. There's probably data out there somewhere, it's a matter of getting it into a usable hosted state
I'm pretty sure I've seen some huge, semi-complete datasets of the site somewhere. Maybe the-eye has something? That would ease the process, since the content has already been hoarded.
Also, the new posts of some subreddits are being copied live to the equivalent Lemmy communities by bots made for that purpose.
These tech freaks have a mercantilist, zero-sum view of how the web works: any link elsewhere is bad and anyone else profiting is your loss. They didn't use to think this way but have gradually built a bubble around themselves over time, losing all perspective of their own users in the process. This also explains the move of this tech cohort to the regressive right wing.
Futurama has one of the bigger communities on here. Lemmy needs more dedicated communities centered around a certain franchises, like Baldurs Gate or Futurama or live-action One Piece.
Definitely. Any subjects where people search for interests or for answers to questions. Google sucks so much ass now that I got into the habit of just using it to search Reddit for answers. Showing people it's worth doing the same with Lemmy will be huge.
There's no engaged discussion on here. If you have any opinion about paying for services, using Windows, or driving a car, you'll be downvoted and attacked lmao.
Man, i joined lemmy about 2 months ago and because there are no free apps for reddit i haven't logged on there since then. Once people understand the instances they will feel at home.
the era of the big corpo monosite has made people forget what it's like to have more than one website, and even before that era websites didn't really talk to one another all that much. with time people will learn, and the ones who can't will drown in botspam on the decaying husks of corposites
I doubt anyone is hanging on for mostly technical / security changes in 0.19. The best way to improve uptake is to remove all the sand from the signup process which as it stands would scare away many people.
Man this wound me up. It's not season 11, it's season 8.
That didn't stop me downloading the wrong episode, time and time again. Same file, but it had completely the wrong name, and I need them all to say ELiTE or ETHEL consistently, otherwise it's all just wrong.
4 original seasons, plus movies, plus 3 more seasons. Not sure how it ended up as 11, seems the 6th and 7th seasons are divided up into 2 parts each, maybe the movies are counted as 2 as well?
Yeah, I didn't pay attention to those airing dates, but I see on IMDB they start season 4 on season 3's Roswell That Ends Well and it's a jumble compared to the production order. So 5 seasons out of the original 4, then the movies, then 2 seasons per season.
Haven't even bothered watching them. The original run is old af now and Futurama has become a meme to most people. Just let it die and make a new show.
Cheers to the community and plethora of apps available.
We should also thank Lemmy creator and contributors making it search engine friendly and instance admins to make the result appear higher (faster response, https, crawlability, etc.)

TWeaK@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y
11 seasons I think refers to the original airings. IMDB has the 11 season episode list: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149460/episodes/, meanwhile Wikipedia shows it as 8, but splits the seasons down a bit, however for some reason there's only 10 there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Futurama_episodes#Series_overview
