A great use for reddit is the ability to search posts and opinions about any niche topic. Will that be possible with Lemmy as it grows? Will I be able to Google “instant rice Lemmy” and get a comprehensive tier list of each brand?

I imagine search engines will have trouble with all the different instances(?). EDIT: Especially with instances that don’t have Lemmy in their name, I don’t think search engines would return them for Lemmy searches?

    You just need to backlink to Lemmy from an already known websites and the crawlers will find their way.

    About the search engine to dispaly the correct instance, that is something I don’t think that works now and would require optimizations.
