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?

Add this at the end of your search query to omit results from Reddit:

-site:https://www.reddit.com/

To specifically include results from Lemmy, you can just add a plus sign and replace the site name:

+site:https://lemmy.world/

Just as a FYI:

You don’t need the + to include things on Google. Anything you type that isn’t prefaced with a minus symbol already means “include this”. Also, using quotes means you want an exact match.

Additionally, you could shorten to this:

Search keywords here -site:Reddit.com site:lemmy.world “exact match keywords, if you want”

And just for funsies—you can use related: as an operator to find sites that are similar to something.

Believe it or not Lemmy.world is not the only instance.

I’m guessing that search would turn up results for any instance LW is federated with? If not that would be disappointing!
