Literally happened to me a hour ago. Title was "tits or ass" and was a meme about personality disorder.
Sometimes I feel like my Linux desktops are the last place is It where search isn't utterly broken.
I can get by using Google for tech stuff just because of experience. I had to look up something for my car today, ended up rage quitting after the 50th irrelevant YouTube video result.
I feel like moving to a cave and living off insects might be the way forward
If it's recent I can usually find it from my profile upvotes.
Worked for finding a comic I wanted to share in a relevant conversation days after upvoting it.
can't be as bad as trying to find a reddit post
It's way worse, just give it a try.
With reddit you could at least use site:reddit.com and a normal search engine.
IIRC Reddit didn't / doesn't look for any one word in the prompt, the web interface of Lemmy does.
What's even the point of that? More words in the prompt should narrow the search down, not widen it up!
Reddit search is way better. It even has operators for the search, and things like flairs that you can search by.
