As an example: I was doing a search for the best sesame substitute today. Everything that came up was things like, "11 Best Sesame Substitutes," and I know for a fact that just about everything they suggested tastes nothing like sesame. Just another site trying to get hits. So I added reddit.com into my search parameters and immediately got some decent answers.

I really hate that I have to do that to get anything useful, but there is a ridiculous amount of useful information on Reddit. I hope the fediverse gets to this point as well one day.

Anway, just needed to vent. Lemmy on.

    Just throwing this out there but you can make a custom Google search set up only to search for links from lemmy instances but you need to know how to use Google search syntax and have to find and add lemmy instances to add

          Lol, totally cool. Maybe one day in the future, when Lemmy is full of content, someone will do a search for sesame substitutes and find this post.

          And thanks! I really like the flavor and texture tahini imparts. I’m actually allergic to peanuts, but another nut butter might work out for me.

              Haha no worries! I am allergic to a lot of foods, and there’s no way you could have known. I’m actually also allergic to chickpeas, too 😂 so I make hummus out of white beans and/or fava beans. Tastes very good.

              I was originally curious because I thought it might be fun to start a supper club for people with food allergies. Sesame allergies are very common.
