Many searches are useless without including reddit.com
As an example: I was doing a search for the best sesame substitute today. Everything that came up was things like, "11 Best Sesame Substitutes," and I know for a fact that just about everything they suggested tastes nothing like sesame. Just another site trying to get hits. So I added reddit.com into my search parameters and immediately got some decent answers.
I really hate that I have to do that to get anything useful, but there is a ridiculous amount of useful information on Reddit. I hope the fediverse gets to this point as well one day.
Anway, just needed to vent. Lemmy on.

But how can we accomplish the same with lemmy?
We can’t add Lemmy.com to the google search, and I can’t remember all the lemmy community names either.
Some code sorcerer could make a website that searches all.
Already been done, a couple of times iirc
Maybe just adding lemmy to the end would work.. I usually did what OP did but just using reddit added instead of the whole dot com thing..
That's my biggest gripe with the fediverse. SEO kinda sucks. I haven't had any luck with adding lemmy at the end
Is it because the way the fediverse works or just because there isn't enough topics about it?..
