You know, a reason why we liked reddit and stackexchange is the upvotes/awards and that the site tells you what the post owner liked (which is supposed to be the answer you're looking for). what is the alternative here ? or does the admin add a bot to do this stuff on the instance ?

also the search ! we used to use google search and write reddit or stackexchange after what you searched, or like site:mathstackexchange.com at the end of the search query, how do I search for content that I want on this "fediverse" ? or at least in an instance ?

if the question should have been asked elsewhere please tell me, I still struggle with the fediverse

There are no awards here. Upvotes, downvotes, yes, but no awards.

Regarding the search, it's a bit more complicated than just searching on google site:fediverse.com. The content you're looking for could be on any instance (server), so it's best to have a Lemmy account and use the search feature on the web UI to find what you're looking for. Google still isn't trained to search on the fediverse.

funny that now awards are removed from reddit, was a great aspect imo
