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
But will it omit other things like kbin.social?
probably. So you could add it as a site search string; such as:
site:lemmy.* OR site:kbin.social -site:beehaw.org catsYes and no. It won’t search kbin.social directly, but federation works via mirroring content, so any posts that have reached the site being searched will, well, be on the site being searched.
