This is a must-read for anyone who is still trying to search seriously on the internet. I knew some of these tricks, but not all.

[edit: I've just been yelled at for forwarding a Substack link. So, y'know, the consider the medium vs the message. YMMV]

Get engagement increases by getting off substack

@kevinrns It’s not my article and I’m not on substack.

@c_dan4th

I'm offering advice on getting your point heard. Perhaps you didn't how much anger there is at substack.

@kevinrns I understand the Substack anger, but again, this is a boost of someone else’s post linking to a Substack article, not my own work by far.

FWIW, my own blog, which is updated a half dozen times each year, is hosted on Wordpress and before that on various university computers where I worked. And I’m not super interested in getting my voice heard any louder or more widely than it already is.

@c_dan4th

Just advising that people won't engage with posts linking to substack. Haven't blocked, not suggesting block.

I also advise using hashtags all the time.

@kevinrns Okay. Noted. I'm really not clear why you're on my case about this.

FWIW, plenty of people seem to be engaging with it anyway. If have problems with things I'm posting or how I'm posting them, you're free to unfollow or just ignore.

Because its money to Nazis. With swastika flags.

Putting people in ovens. Couping the world with horror.

This is outstanding! Thanks for spreading the word. I used to use the 'Advanced Search' form, but never took the time to learn all the features. Now I know more that I ever guessed was possible.
@rnf It doesn’t surprise me that Google has some internal dev tools exposed. I’m glad of it.
