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 @[email protected]
Not all lemmy sites fit that though. You’ve already lost out on sh.itjust.works, beehaw, lem.ee, sopuli.xyz etc
OP is sharing a very useful tip for people new to the Fediverse. Let’s not allow our pedantry to get in the way of what is still a helpful tip please.
Fwiw I don’t think they were complaining. I found it useful to clarify that it’s not a complete search.
I frequently append “Reddit” to searches for more informative results. I can imagine that in the future it would be great do perform simalr searches covering all of the fediverse
I don’t see how my comment “gets in the way” of using it. Just something to be aware of.
