I’ve searched for older Lemmy posts on Google just to see if they are getting indexed and I don’t think most are? Can anyone else confirm. I think if Lemmy showed up in more google searches like Reddit it would bring new users

    Based on a quick look, from the best to worse: DuckDuckGo > Google > Quant > Bing

    Unless search engines decide to integrate a dedicated filter to Fediverse, it will always be hard to search even if it’s indexed. Cross posts, quote posts are not search engine friendly features.
