Why YSK: Searching topcs on reddit was simple matter of entering desired term and prepending or appending keyword reddit. With lemmy’s decentralised structure finding particular topic without knowing to which, or rather if even there is community dealing with such topic(s) can be a headache inducing hurdle. So appending simple:
site: lemmy.*
site:lemmy.*
to Your google search feature can ease up search.
P.S.
to avoid certain domains You can use e.g.:
-site: beehaw.org
-site:beehaw.org
@edit: removed spaces thank You @inquisitor1965@kbin.social
You must log in or register to comment.
Only downside is you won’t find stuff from domains without lemmy in them, e.g. feddit.de
There’s a silver lining here. It will prompt people to search from their instance instead of giving more traffic to Google.
Wouldn’t the search results be even more limited in that case, though?
Duckduckgo has a bang for Mastodon:
!msocial. Maybe we should start putting in requests for Fediverse bangs:!lemmy,!kbin,!beehaw, etc.It would be better if they would add
!fediversethat searches all of the sites. Maybe one day!
