I did a couple of searches with duckduckgo and google, finding that unlike reddit it doesnt really suggest posts on lemmy, just whole communities. Im curious if this is unavoidable with this number of users or if there is a way to make search engines suggest better lemmy results and make the resources accumulating here useful for a broader audience.
90% of the content has been made in like, the last 4 days. Search engines probably weren’t even aware of Lemmy before. Give it time.
That said, the federated nature may cause results to always be deprioritized, as the exact same thing may be available on dozens to hundreds of servers with different domains and policies. Search engines don’t like that.
