Just found out that DuckDuckGo can be used to search Fediverse sites easily. (kbin.social)

If you didn't know, on DuckDuckGo you can search for posts or magazines with site:kbin.social just like you would with Reddit. The same applies to any other Fediverse site like Kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.. I was really frustrated because it seems like Google was intentionally suppressing them.

So in order every single Fediverse instances, I'd have to include all of them? It'll be more fun if something that can exist to globally search every instances (and give us filter to opt out of some that the user do not enjoy) instead of making it a long long string like site:kbin.social + site:lemmy.world... Like kind of how greasyfork is doing with their search engine, I like it.

Cool! I added this URL as a bookmark: https://www.google.com/search?q=(site%3Akbin.social+OR+site%3Alemmy.world+OR+site%3Ash.itjust.works+OR+site%3Abeehaw.org+OR+site%3Alemmy.ml+OR+site%3Alemmy.ca+OR+site%3Amidwest.social+OR+site%3Alemmy.blahaj.zone).

Now I can click it and add anything in the front of the search to find things across the entire reddit-like fediverse. I tried the same with DuckDuckGo and it didn't really work? Might need different formatting.
