While we are on the subject of search engines, which search engines still show you like blogs, forum posts and stuff like that? Most of the blogs for obscure projects or problems are no longer even discoverable.

You're supposed to get your information from big platforms exclusively, otherwise how would you be able to see all the nice ads and "curated activism"?

    I'm sorry, I did not realize that complaining about big corporations using their monopoly was considered political and ideological now, but I suppose it makes sense. Please excuse my previous comment, I agree it's not helpful, and I should have resisted the urge to voice my frustration with the direction I see the internet heading

      FWIW, I agree with your post and disagree that it violates the rules.

    Yes, it's not a massive index that already includes every known website, that's not the goal of it at all. Is there something wrong with these instructions?

Kagi. They actually have a filter setting to only show forum results. They have one for the "smallweb" as well. Also a "smallweb" landing page designed to help you discover niche creators like you mentioned. Here: https://kagi.com/smallweb/ https://kagi.com/smallweb/

  I heard about Mojeek for the first time in this comment section and am using it for the last hour. Really impressed by the speed. Set it as my default for now, used to be a DDG user :)

That is exactly why I scrape internet. I maintain all found domains in github: https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database I wanted to have all links about amiga, or commodore, chiptune. It is not a search engine. For now, it is only data. Maybe this will help somebody, or somebody will be able to use this data better. I have a demo app running on rpi. It may be immediately broken if top many ppl accessed it. https://renegat0x0.ddns.net/apps/places https://renegat0x0.ddns.net/apps/places

How about providing an example of a blog for an obscure project or problem that is no longer discoverable.
