Like Reddit is? e.g. for Google, or Bing (shudders), you know. Search engines. One of the ways many people around the world interacted with Reddit was looking up solutions, discussions, or similar from a search engine and NOT on Reddit itself. Is that possible in this thread of the fediverse?
I can already find some stuff on lemmy if I search for it. It will take time for everything to be indexed but I think it will work ok eventually.
It’s also low pagerank right now.
I wonder how will Google’s algorithm treat lemmy in the future. Maybe the uncontrolled/federated nature of it will make google ignore it.
It will probably treat the individual servers differently.
I’m of the opinion that Google should just federate with everything and index the fediverse so it can keep the original sources of everything.
