But, for that to work, as a company, you have to actually care about the user. Shareholders and project goals are what they care about. Well. Mostly shareholders.
I’m a shareholder and I don’t have the feeling the companies I own stock of care much about me. I have the feeling they care most about the CEOs, which are usually some rich friends of the companies founders. We can vote on the CEOs pay though, but the options are limited. If we don’t agree with them pocketing all the money, they can just run the company into the ground until our stock is worthless.
I was raised religion-free, my mother didn't push any beliefs on me (one of the few things she did right) so I grew up as a natural atheist. One Easter when I was very young, I don't remember how young precisely but I was probably 10 or younger, one of our neighbor families offered to take me to church for Mass. I guess they thought they were going to save my soul or something. My mother left the decision up to me. Now, in my mind Easter was bunnies and candy and egg hunts and all that good stuff so hell yes, I wanted to go. I don't know what I expected but what I definitely didn't expect was sitting quietly on an uncomfortable bench for (what seemed like to me) four hours while some guy talked at me. If I wasn't an atheist before that would have sealed the deal.

it’s not that they’re “completely incapable of making a functional website”. It’s that making a good website might take traffic away from their apps, where they have more power to collect metrics and bypass ad blocking.
First and foremost, I think this just fundamentally wouldn’t work out because it requires enough people being on a given thread at the same time, which would be on the rare side for most threads, then on top of that they also need to be in a position to talk freely, ie - Not on the toilet, not in their open floorplan cube at work. The two place most commenting happens.
More subjectively, IMO, the times this would work out and be civil and a good conversation, would be far outweighed by the ones where it went south.
There was the one where the guy said “feminism is the worst thing that has ever happened to women.”
The one where the guy said “[Jesus] rolled away the stone and crawled out of his tomb fully healed even though his legs were broken” was pretty interesting giving the blatant blasphemy of it all. He had to apologize next week.
There doesn’t currently seem to be a direct way to go about those search methods, as far as I’m aware.
The closest equivalent I know of to search by title:
Go to the search page of the instance of your choosing (ex. lemmy.world/search, or lemm.ee/search). Larger instances will tend to be more useful for this since they are more likely to be aware of posts from any arbitrary instance; if you know that you want to search within a particular community, then searching on that community’s instance would yield all possible results, which could potentially not happen with a non-local instance search.
Filter to search only posts. This will yield both posts with the term in the title as well as posts with the search term in their body text.
Use your in-browser Find tool (ctrl+F for Windows, or Command+F for iOS desktop, or other methods with other OSs/devices) to search for the same search term on each page of results to highlight only the posts which have the term in their title.
Hard pass. I already skip almost every video posted here because most of them could be an article instead. No way I would participate in a voice chat with other people where I am sure at least one of them is going to be yelling for no reason.
There is no good way really.
Lemmy’s search is pretty lackluster. You will have a hard time finding what you are looking for, unless you are searching for something verbatim, and if your query contains common words…Good luck. It also has no search operators.
When it comes to search engines, only google is somewhat usable (from my experience), but it’s very much hit or miss. Sometimes you will be able to find the post, just by typing lemmy [post title or part of it], but it will almost never be in the top results.
And most of the time , first result is Reddit…
It basically just uses this query for “more accurate search” [search query] (intext:“modlog” & “instances” & “docs” & “code” & “join-lemmy”)
And this one for normal search [search query] (site:lemmy.world OR site:lemmy.ml OR site:lemm.ee OR site:hexbear.net OR site:sh.itjust.works OR site:lemmy.dbzer0.com OR site:feddit.de OR site:kbin.social OR site:mastodon.social OR site:mastodon.cloud OR site:mstdn.social OR site:mastodon.online OR site:mastodon.world OR site:libre.video OR site:video.antopie.org)
Which is not just for lemmy, as you can see
Here is the search query I made for the top 35 lemmy instances (by active users) based on this: lemmy.fediverse.observer/list
<span style="color:#323232;">[your search query] (site:lemmy.world OR site:lemm.ee OR site:sh.itjust.works OR site:lemmy.ml OR site:hexbear.net OR site:lemmy.ca OR site:programming.dev OR site:lemmy.dbzer0.com OR site:feddit.org OR site:lemmy.blahaj.zone OR site:discuss.tchncs.de OR site:lemmygrad.ml OR site:sopuli.xyz OR site:lemmy.sdf.org OR site:lemmy.zip OR site:beehaw.org OR site:infosec.pub OR site:aussie.zone OR site:feddit.nl OR site:midwest.social OR site:feddit.uk OR site:slrpnk.net OR site:reddthat.com OR site:lemmy.one OR site:jlai.lu OR site:pawb.social OR site:lemmy.kya.moe OR site:lemmy.today OR site:startrek.website OR site:feddit.it OR site:mander.xyz OR site:ttrpg.network OR site:lemmings.world OR site:ani.social OR site:feddit.org)

In SearXNG u can use !lepo to search lemmy posts but it’s basically just lemmy’s search.
