Goodbye small blogs, forums, it was nice to read you.
- _Algernon_ 1y agoThey don't disappear just because Google no longer surfaces them. May I suggest marginalia search for your small web needs? https://marginalia-search.com/ https://marginalia-search.com/
- miyuru 1y agoI tried marginalia but the index is still small. It still haven't index my blog but have indexed my root homepage, which has a direct link to the blog.
- _Algernon_ 1y agoThere are steps to submit it manually: https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/submit-site-to-marginalia-search https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/submit-site-to-marginali...
- Llamamoe 1y agoI just wonder what the cost of the enshittification of the web to humanity is. There was a time where I could type a loose query about anything I didn't know, and get its Wikipedia page, forums and blogs full of knowledgeable people, scientific articles and academia pages, where all knowledge was a few seconds of typing away. Now... I don't even bother to Google things anymore. It's all SEO spam, AI slop, and ghostwritten articles whose content is secondary to the business they advertise.
- okasaki 1y agoThose died a long time ago though
- myaccountonhn 1y agoMost of my online usage is browsing forums and reference materials. Hell, I'm responding to you on a forum. I don't think they're dead at all.
- simianwords 1y agoIf anything LLMs democratize it because I can search for exactly the blog I want using a semantic query.
