Adding Custom Search Engine - Self Hosted (lemmy.ml)

Recently I started using my own self hosted search engine - LibreX...

When I went to add it as the default search engine for Firefox on the desktop - I found that the option to add custom search engines gone (replaced with a 'smarter' way??)

Here is the work around I found..

Go to the about:config page

Paste browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh into the search area and set the value to True

Now when you go to the Settings page, you should see an Add button to add a custom search engine (like you used too...)

Curious, how many users here actually use ActivityPub's capabilities to see other social media sites? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Using lemmy directly will give you more control over the post and lemmy specific features...

Better marketing? Not sure...

And given #xmpp can do things like !movim @lemmy.ml, it's a shame it's not me widely used.

Misskey, Calckey, Pleroma, Mastodon- All perform the same essential function. Microblogging (with minor differences e.g Pleroma has a 5000 word limit per post) Think Twitter.
