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 🤘😁
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.
Append
(intext:“modlog” & “instances” & “docs” & “code” & “join lemmy”)
to your search query to search all indexed Lemmy instances. Works with Google, Startpage, SearXNG.
Lemmy is indexed. Time and algorithm deciding it’s useful will make it show up higher.
The nature of it being federated probably doesn’t help with SEO much.
It is getting better
Doesn’t annoy me in the least
