It's OK. One thing it does is rope "reddit" into the "Forums" Lens, which on face seems good but I search mostly for car stuff and forums are a trove there.

Feature request: block a domain?

"saab 900 power steering rack -reddit"

still returns a ton of reddit results.

This is actually already possible!

You can block specific domains, as well as make them rank lower. And if you ever want to ignore those rules, you can easily do that too!

Not affiliated with Kagi in any way, just a very happy user.

Seems like they are asking to block a domain for an individual query, or to remove it from their forums lens. It is weird that "-reddit" didn't work for them, seems like that should do it to me
-site:reddit.com works for that.

I think it might also be possible to create a new lens from an existing one while blocking a domain.

Well that or let me pick sources for my lens default! Because reddit just overwhelms it with low quality content
You could create a custom Forum lens and disable the default one in favor of your own. I think a great way to do this would be a "derivative lens" feature, that way you could use all of the sources for the Forum lens, minus the ones you want to remove. I will make feature request for that probably.
