Better search results with no ads. Welcome to Kagi (pronounced kah-gee), a paid search engine that gives power back to the user.

While they’re a very, very, very, very small search engine, it looks like someone requested a Lemmy search lens and was finally implemented today.

    Cool, that makes sense. I dont think there’s a way to search all of any federated system.

    I wonder if searching for more content from a particular smaller instance makes it more likely to show up

      I’m guessing they might just limit it to a hand-picked list of big instances for now.

      In theory someone could get close to indexing all of a federated system by writing software that speaks activitypub, subscribe to a bunch of communities, and wait for the instances hosting those communities to push you new posts/comments, then use the domains of users in each new post/comment to add more instances to scan.
