Neither DuckDuckGo nor Google are particularly good at it, since you can't do something like site:reddit.com. How do you guye search or is this just an unsolved problem?

Not mine:

Search every lemmy instance:
You can append (intext:"modlog" & "instances" & "docs" & "code" & "join lemmy") to your search query to search through all Lemmy instances. Works with Google, Startpage, SearX.

Could you give an example URL?

To search for fish on lemmy, input
fish (intext:"modlog" & "instances" & "docs" & "code" & "join lemmy")
into google

This is really nice.

No equivalent way to do it on Duckduckgo, that you know of, right?

Try it on duckduckgo, I have never tested it. They try to replicate a lot of google’s functionality.
