Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Thanks. I hadn't heard of it. Looks like it's a paid subscription for the search engine. Would you recommend it as a general search engine for everyday use?

Well, it depends on what you want it for.

I wanted specifically to find a search engine that has a subscription-based model and does not generate its income from data-mining and ads. It doesn't retain search logs. For me, it's what I had wanted for some time -- a service where I was the customer rather than the product -- so I am pretty happy with it.

It has some other features, but I generally don't care much about them other than its "Fediverse Forums" search lens, which lets one search the Threadiverse (Lemmy/mbin/piefed).

It looks like they also have a Usenet archives search engine that I haven't looked at. I might look into that, as I used to use Usenet archives search engines.

I'm happy with it. Depends on what you're looking for, though.
