I’ve heard you can do a google search and append say kbin.social to get results just from kbin, but if I wanted to treat the fediverse’s content like reddit’s, is there a way to do the google search on just everything that’s on the fediverse?

edit:
I’ve been hearing people will want to make search tools to help us search the fediverse, and in the future even give us options on our servers to opt out of being indexed if we want.

Also this is a search site someone else recommended where you can choose which search engine to search the fediverse: https://fedi-search.com

    No, there’s no aggregator/indexer quite like that just yet. Your best bet is to just hope that the search shows up something useful because you captured the right key words.

      aww that’s kind of a bummer then, I’m a little sad since I thought this made it equal to reddit’s search. I don’t really care for reddit becoming good for stuff like tiktok/youtube shorts, but I like it a lot for being able to search easily for real people’s inputs. I thought there was no con for federation since the content is shared, but the decentralization seems to make it harder to search that content in the fediverse
