Gregory's Server@mordremoth I thought this was the intention of what link aggregator sites like Lemmy/Kbin are designed to do.
EDIT: My apologies, I reread this and it comes off hella aggressive, which absolutely isn't my intent.
More just I'm curious if Lemmy/Kbin fit what you're describing, and what would need to be different if they currently don't.
@wheeljack They are designed to be link aggregation systems, yes, but I'm not talking about replacing link aggregation - I'm talking about replacing web search.
My point here is that decentralized link aggregation could be a great starting point for replacing the classic "crawl and index" systems that make centralized search engines extremely costly.
