Can't there be an alternative like a user-curated search engine? Users could label their favorite sites with the proper keywords and then the community could up/downvote the results for quality control.

    Would be just as vulnerable to automated SEO unless there's a significant barrier to being able to label and vote, such as invitation-only groups.

    And don't we have this already, almost? Filter Mastodon hashtags for links or add UI for hashtags to Lemmy. Or use full text search.
