    These sites are great for finding answers but Lemmy solves the same problem as they do. I’m actually seeing Lemmy results quite often from google recently too (I’m using SearXNG btw, it displays what search engines individual results are from).

      Is there anyway to search all Lemmy instances through Google or DuckDuckGo like site:reddit.com?

        That would be great. Maybe SearXNG can add that by doing a site: for every lemmy instance from join-lemmy.org or something when you do site:lemmy

          Your suggestion would be great.

          For the time being, I was using OR and shoving the top 8 instances from Lemmy Explorer.

          site:alien.top OR site:lemmy.world OR site:lemmy.ml OR site:lemm.ee OR site:sh.itjust.works OR site:hexbear.net OR site:beehaw.org OR site:lemmy.dbzer0.com

          DuckDuckGo Link

          Google Link
