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
I’ll try submitting the same, sure.
I am suspicious that the search URL will only be indexing kbin.social and not the greater kbin/lemmy universe which is not good. But it’s a !kbin bang and the !msocial bang goes to mastodon.social so I guess it makes sense.
I’d much rather see a !kbin search that returned results from all kbin instances it has indexed, and a !lemmy search that does the same for lemmy instances, or a !fediforum search that returned results from both. But it’s a start!
