    Astroturfing bad

    Good search good

    The former is unconfirmed to be sure

    I’m liking $0 SearXNG: lots of instances if you don’t host your own (for max privacy I think)

    Germany/Spain hosted instance with all the checkmarks (Vanilla, IPv6, 100% uptime): https://searxng.site

    If you fancy paying for a decent cause, don’t see a problem with the paid option sometimes suspiciously mentioned on Lemmy. Free trialing it saw a pleasant experience.

        Responding to the human who typed:

        I know Lemmy doesn’t like it

        Explaining many Lemmings seem to like it, and attempting to explain why some may bristle at its mention

        That’s all :)

            Sorry, meant it as a reply to each segment of your sentence, to clarify what I think we like and don’t like:

            Lemmy doesn’t like [astroturfing], but [Lemmy likes] great [search]

            I haven’t seen anybody say Kagi’s search itself is bad! Oh, I should have mentioned some don’t like the idea of paid search period. That’s another complaint.

            Overall positive impressions from many users here, is what I see. “Lemmy doesn’t like Kagi” is somewhat of a mischaracterization I think.
