Sorry if this has been asked already, but I’m struggling with my google skills and fediverse right now
How should I approach googling if I want to look for answers in the fediverse?
With reddit, I just used “whatever i want to search reddit” and it would show results from reddit
What about now? “whatever i want fediverse”? “whatever i want lemmy kbin mastodon”?
I don’t mean to keep self promoting but: https://github.com/marsara9/lemmy-search
It’s still a work in progress, but it’s going to be a search engine specifically built for Lemmy, and maybe eventually the entire fediverse.
Idea is that you’ll be able to search just like you normally would in Google but
Is there a website up to use this search yet? I’d love to add it to my MSEdgeRedirect project as a selectable search engine for the upcoming 0.8 version!
Sadly not yet. I’m in desperate need of a fronted dev, as the HTML/Javascript needs some serious work. But if I can’t find someone soon I’ll see what I can get put together and get it up and running soon enough.
Dev’s like you make this place work for some of us more technologically incapable people (me) so just want to say, thanks for the hard work!
Thank you for your work, this will be huge!
I guess it would by definition have to look beyond Lemmy, as even content in Lemmy could originate from elsewhere?
One name suggestion: Findi.
Fediverse -> Findiverse -> Findi.
It’s short, somewhat descriptive (Fedi is already used for the Fediverse), easy to remember, and doesn’t seem to be used by any other major project. :)
I see you are looking for a name - if you search kbin too you are covering the threadiverse, so… WellVersed. Defined as:
Which you would do.
