This just started yesterday or the day before. I use Firefox with Duckduckgo as a search engine. I wanted to look something up so I put the classical “reddit” at the end of my question. I couldnt find reddit at all. I was confused at first.

After searching it up I found out that reddit would only be indexed if you are using the google search engine. No more. I used to love reddit but now I’m tired of the website.

Lemmy for life!

    Isn’t there an option in reddit settings to turn off and on showing up in Google results?

      I think that feature is refering to other people searching up your username

      Edit: btw I dont use google (whether the browser or the search engine) which is why I was annoyed at this change. Only the google search engine can give you reddit results
