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

probably. So you could add it as a site search string; such as:
site:lemmy.* OR site:kbin.social -site:beehaw.org cats
Yes 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.
