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?

    Just as a FYI:

    You don’t need the + to include things on Google. Anything you type that isn’t prefaced with a minus symbol already means “include this”. Also, using quotes means you want an exact match.

    Additionally, you could shorten to this:

    Search keywords here -site:Reddit.com site:lemmy.world “exact match keywords, if you want”
    

    And just for funsies—you can use related: as an operator to find sites that are similar to something.

      Yeah I don’t know why I added that. Kinda dumb on my part.

      I think this is what OP was really looking for. I did a Google search for “ukraine related:lemmy -site:reddit.com” and got this, which seems to be the kind of results OP is looking for:
