You could always add "site:lemmy.world" to your search (remove the quotes). I commonly do that, as well as the same for reddit or stack overflow.

The problem with that is, lemmy.world is only one of many different instances. Too bad there isn't a way to add a modifier that searches the entire fediverse.

yea i've been doing "inurl:lemmy" for that reason

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 0 points 4 months ago

You'd miss instances that don't use "lemmy" in the URL, but it's at least a better solution than specifying a single instance.

out of the top of my head, that won't include lemm.ee, sopuli, beehaw, szmer.info, slrpnk.net, sh.itjust.works, or other threadiverse instances like kbin/mbin.

Appending (intext:“modlog” & “instances” & “docs” & “code” & “join lemmy”) to your search query will search most instances. Works with Google, Startpage, SearXNG afaik.

Very nice, thanks!

Was able to find this thread:

https://www.google.com/search?q=google+reddit+(intext:%22modlog%22+%26+%22instances%22+%26+%22docs%22+%26+%22code%22+%26+%22join+lemmy%22)

(Heh, when testing this sanitized URL from the thousand character monster it was before, Google asked me if I was a bot. I think parentheses and stuff make them suspicious.)
