With reddit you could just add “reddit” or “site:reddit.com” to redirect google searches to reddit, but with lemmy it doesn’t seem to work. Is there a way to search useful information on Lemmy?
I just found a post on the Fediverse community, it shows a new search engine designed to replace google’s “site:reddit.com” search query. Hope it will work.
Right now the best way is to search from inside a lemmy instance itself. lemmy search finds much better results than what native reddit search used to give.
I’ve noticed that lemmy is full of discussions about Twitter and Reddit, so that’s probably the reason these kind of posts show up, but with niche topics it’s a lot harder to find something. I’ve tried searching, even with the lemmy search engine, a post I made on c/Android using generic words, but I couldn’t find anything at all.
