Just found out that DuckDuckGo can be used to search Fediverse sites easily. (kbin.social)

If you didn't know, on DuckDuckGo you can search for posts or magazines with site:kbin.social just like you would with Reddit. The same applies to any other Fediverse site like Kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.. I was really frustrated because it seems like Google was intentionally suppressing them.

Alternatively, a custom indexer for the fediverse could be set up. That would be a lot more efficient in teens of network traffic for everyone involved, and the search engine wouldn't rely on a specific instance (kbin in this case) to have complete and accurate data.
