I am sorry the question is confusing.
But some Google searches give much better results if you add “reddit” to the end of your query. This ends up generating a lot of traffic for Reddit.
Anyone found a way to search something but hint Google to look at Lemmy?
I use
This is awesome! Bookmarked
Try kagi search! It actually has a “lense” or search option that lets you directly search federated services like lemmy: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/lenses.html
How do you “try” Kagi without subscribing or creating an account? Is that possible?
I think you get a hundred free searches, then it’s about 13 EUR per month for unlimited searches. I’d recommend Startpage, it’s free and European.
Whoa, that’s expensive for me. That’s half of my internet bill just for a search engine. Lol
a lot of lemmy instances block google indexing purposefully. you would need to search using the instance search capabilities.

One day I will be able to afford a subscription based search engine…

I wish I could… Gladly this isn’t the one and only way to protect ones data & privacy. And about 10 searches per day for 5$+ taxes is not going to be enough searches for me. The most convincing point is proper search results in my opinion. But again, 10$ +taxes for a search engine is not a recurring cost I will add to the bunch.

You can add “site:[whatever.tld]” to a Google search to restrict results to the specified domain. But as mentioned elsewhere many instances block indexing.
Conversely, you can add
-site:Reddit.comand exclude Reddit results altogether.
That makes me wonder if the fediverse is disadvantaged by SEO. Each instance is likely “just” a domain to search engines.
