Go digging? That hasn't really changed has it? If a report pops up in my feed speaking about some scientific study, I try and go to the journal or the arxiv to find the study itself so I can read the summaries. If I really can't find anything first party, if I've got some personal knowledge on the topic I might just write the paper's author and ask for a copy (they're often very willing and excited to share) or use my library provided JSTOR access?
Google scholar still mostly works as well.. but yeah I only use it every other week or so.
Like this isn't new, science twitter has mostly moved to mastadon so most of the time there's an arxiv link in the "Study released today..." toots etc.
There are some new youtubers trying to spread the word, but yeah like the same way you've always researched?
