- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

I'm really not. This was my daily workflow, one day it was working, the next it was not. There were gradual changes before and after as websites locked themselves down to scraping, but there was a specific update to Google's search, followed by Bing and the sites that repackage it. I switched to using searxng and quant, but neither of them were ever as good
I couldn't narrow down to the day, but I could probably pin it down to a specific week if I dug through my notes
