A common Google “hack” to get actual results it to add “site:reddit.com” after a search term–Lemmy, however is spread across a ton of instances. I was wondering whether there’s a selfhosted search engine that is able to index lemmy posts from a certain number of instances (set manually) and that can be used to search for certain terms–is such a program being worked on? Or is it best to simply use the lemmy search bar on my instance?
I haven’t tried yet, but I was thinking of adding the more popular Lemmy instances to my local YaCy instance so that I could search them. I’ve already lost a couple posts that I can’t find anymore for one reason or another .
