How to search Lemmy like Reddit? (lemmy.world)

One of the good things about Reddit is you often have a question and there’s a post about it with a bunch of users answering and validating the answers.

I’ve tried searching posts in Lemmy and either the search feature just doesn’t seem to work or maybe nobody has posted that question before (which I find unlikely).

What’s the best way to use Lemmy like a search engine for answers like Reddit?

I meeeeean, I already tried something like that with !vitahacksplus@lemmy.world answering questions I thought to be interesting from Reddit, since my account from Reddit had been banned already and even if the OP didn't see the post as a reply, it'd be floating the internet at least. But at the time I had been trimming my RSS feeds and the ones for the Vita had too much fluff.

So I think it's valid, though I'd say it's best to not pretend you're the one making the questions.

Interesting. This would be more of a community project so we have answers from a trusted community.
