One thing Reddit dominates on is search results. I’m looking things up and seeing so many links to reddit, which I guess is going to help keep that place relevant (unless those subreddits stay dark).

I wondered how Lemmy and this fed thingy stuff all works for that? With more posts can we expect to see people arriving through search results?

    One thing to keep in mind is that Google currently penalizes links that don’t end in the common top domains like “.com”, “.org” and similar. So something like lemmy.world, if indexed, will rank lower than a site ending in .com with the same keyword density.

      Google went from being the most important website on the internet to being more and more useless, it’s amazing seeing such a massive company go downhill. But they have so much money that they’ll be able to stay big forever from capital alone.

      Fine with me. We will have a lot of users and become bigger then reddit and Google will still treat us like second class citizens. oh well for Google they are missing out

      Let Google be irrelevant. It kind of already is there in the absence of Reddit.

      The nerds always blaze a trail when boring old entrenched media ruins good things. In this case the thing being ruined is a search engine that makes the critical mistake of assuming a traditionally “prestigious” .com equates value. Fuck the old establishment, it’s time to ditch decrepit big tech and remake the internet the way it was meant to be. It’s time to reinvent how we share and discover content.
