Yeah, it’s most likely caused by Google profiling OP and showing what it thinks OP wants to see.
Out of interest, I just entered “Reddit vs” into DuckDuckGo (which is a search engine that doesn’t profile its users, and it gets most of its search results from Bing). I got the following search suggestions:
- reddit vs quora
- reddit vs twitter
- reddit vs discord
- reddit vs anime
- reddit vs facebook
I can’t believe that anime made the list but Lemmy didn’t lol
You might already be aware, but Lemmy can send you an email every time someone replies to your comments.
Just go to Settings in Lemmy and make sure the ‘Send notifications to Email’ box is checked. Assuming you have notifications turned on with your email app, then you can be notified in a timely fashion.
I know it’s not as good as in-app notifications but it’s a workaround that is good enough for me.
