      That’s interesting that lemmy doesn’t generate canonicals. I would have thought that the original instance something is posted on would set the canonical, and other instances can point back to that - it really seems like this sort of problem is exactly what canonicals are made for. Does anyone know if there’s a reason for not using them (other than dev time, which is 100% a good reason)?

            As someone who’s been a paid user for a few months now, it is totally worth it. It has its moments where I need to try another engine, but the vast majority of the time it’s way better. The ability to rank sites is a game changer, and as a bonus I can block Pinterest and the usual fluff from results and never see them again.
