Calling them “free-form ads,” Reddit said the new advertisements are its most native format ever, designed to look and feel like community content shared by real people.
The ads, meant to mimic the site’s megathreads, will enable advertisers to utilize a variety of formats in one post, including images, videos, and text.
According to numbers from Reddit, free-form ads got 28% more clicks than all other types of ads on the site and saw a jump in community engagement.
The next time you see an interesting post in your Reddit feed, take a closer look - because it might just be a paid advertisement.
The biggest problem with lemmy is that we don’t have a good way to search for info.
Usually I do shit like “reddit monitor recommandation”, and I’ll get some thread where I can read opinions.
We can’t do they with lemmy 😐
I disagree, Lemmy’s built in search function is much better than reddit’s because it lets you search for comments on any instance that you federate with.
Reddit afaik still has no comment search
A while back somebody posted info on how to make a custom DDG search that would search the most common Lemmy instances with one keyword. If you’re interested I can go digging for it.
