since stackoverflow is dead and reddit is also on the way to its grave, I was wondering if we can have enough knowledge base here so that Lemmy comes on the first page of a search query. I know it's very hard to archive and I haven't even seen a single result from lemmy unless I specifically add 'lemmy' keyword to it.
side tangent: Reddit results are also not shown unless we add 'reddit' keyword but sometimes even if you don't add 'reddit' you can see it on the first result.

I've never seen it.
I also think it would kill Lemmy--getting to be the first results on Google is too valuable a prize. We'd be overrun by bots and astroturfed to hell.

IIRC, only once. It felt like seeing someone you know on TV.
Well, everyone starts somewhere, I guess.

Depends on the instance, some can say “hey don’t index us” whereas others can say “hey index us so we grow”, each instance admin has that decision however search engines can ignore the request to not index and do it anyways.

Oh man, banning indexing has the same vibe as Piefed banning all the most active users. Apparently, you can run part of the internet, and still not know how internet communities work.

do you append 'lemmy' to your search query while searching?
I tried to do that but whenever I did I found other interesting stuff instead of finding what I wanted to find xD

Ones, when I was checking if it's even indexing.
