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?

    That seems rather counterproductive imo. The only way to get useful results on any search engine is to input “reddit” at the end of your search ime. So it seems like it’s limiting the discovery and knowledge base of things here by not allowing for the same thing for Lemmy. Idk how to word that correctly.

      I still have to put site:reddit.com at the end of my search in order to get technical answers for certain questions answered in an easily understandable way.

      More so the only way to get results that aren’t ad-filled webpages that are paid to be top Google results is to search for reddit posts. Unfortunately a lot of the newer reddit stuff seems to be regurgitated bot accounts reposting stuff, so most useful stuff on Reddit is from before the enshittification.
