How to google for content from Fediverse?

Sorry if this has been asked already, but I'm struggling with my google skills and fediverse right now

How should I approach googling if I want to look for answers in the fediverse?

With reddit, I just used "whatever i want to search reddit" and it would show results from reddit

What about now? "whatever i want fediverse"? "whatever i want lemmy kbin mastodon"?

I don't mean to keep self promoting but: https://github.com/marsara9/lemmy-search

It's still a work in progress, but it's going to be a search engine specifically built for Lemmy, and maybe eventually the entire fediverse.

Idea is that you'll be able to search just like you normally would in Google but

  1. the links it shows you would take you to your preferred instance
  2. it will search as many lemmy instances as it can find, so it won't find anything outside of the fediverse.

I see you are looking for a name - if you search kbin too you are covering the threadiverse, so… WellVersed. Defined as:

having a lot of knowledge about something

Which you would be.

You can search by site using the "site" operator, for example:

"whatever you want site:lemmy.world"

All the results will be from/via the lemmy.world instance.

Google has always been pretty terrible at ranking websites that haven't been around for a while. They are absolutely already indexing every post, they just aren't ranking high enough.

Google will fix it, hopefully sooner rather than later.
