Wondering if it’s just me. What will it take for Lemmy to be higher in the search results / public consciousness?
“rock and roll & motorcycle guy”
Urge to kill RISINNNNNNNNNNG
I knew that might strike a chord 🤘😁
Lemmy Kilmister is the one true Lemmy and the one true god.
Append
(intext:“modlog” & “instances” & “docs” & “code” & “join lemmy”)
to your search query to search all indexed Lemmy instances. Works with Google, Startpage, SearXNG.
Not particularly. I kind of like Lemmy, and the Fediverse in general, growing organically as people discover it, rather than it being the shiny new thing
Well, I hear ya - but a vast majority of what helped Reddit (or any community) pick up, is DIY and self generated content.
If that content can’t be found easily - ex; via search engine, or the content is entirely missing, then it doesn’t really help either cause. That’s just my 2 cents, because let’s face it, the search on Lemmy is fragmented and I think the help of big data could be promising.
The nature of it being federated probably doesn’t help with SEO much.
I have found some stuff adding Lemmy to my searches, just as I used to do with Reddit…
It is gonna take time until it fully supports it though.
It pains me to see that most open source projects suck boulders at both branding and basic SEO
It is getting better

I use other search engines such as duckduckgo which are better for privacy and less aimed at steering you to the websites that are using the search engine’s ad services. They do have a deal with Bing, so I might be wrong.
I don’t think people are gonna adopt Lemmy because they stumbled on it from Google searches.
