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?

There are more and more Lemmy instances (servers) every day sooooo this isn’t a terrifically comprehensive search but, if you’re looking for something in a federated Lemmy instance, one of the Lemmy.* instances probably knows about it… Maybe that’s enough?
In other words, I would hazard a guess that almost everything in the lemmyverse can probably be found by searching the Lemmy.* instances… assuming they expose their content to Google in the first place.
It looks promising, I searched for something using site:lemmy.* and one of the results was on sh.itjust.works and was found because of the federated URL:
I guess my only concern left then is for the different aggregators, since I thought there wouldn’t be any difference really between kbin and lemmy (or the others)
