Hello all. Like many new users, I am a reddit refugee. Please forgive me if this isn't the best community for my question; I am still learning my way around here.

I am used to google searching "[THING] site:reddit.com" when I want to see the opinions of real people on a topic rather than the flood of clickbait articles you get nowadays with Google.

What is the best way to execute this type of search within the Fediverse rather than Reddit?

You can always use Google to search reddit content though, and that's actually the preferred and optimal way to do it. Afaik that doesn't work with the fediverse since every instance isn't going to get indexed?

That's kinda bad that stuff doesn't get indexed by default, it segregates the internet, just like Facebook and Disord stuff is not indexed.

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
