Will Lemmy posts be searchable on Google?
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?

Digg.com was the big thing with Reddit trailing. Digg began tweaking the experience toward a more profitable model. I had already come to Reddit when they went too far and there was a sudden enormous migration from Digg to Reddit. Digg went from being THE social media aggregator to being nothing in a matter of weeks.
Reddit is more deeply rooted, so I think it will stick around, I'm cool if Reddit keeps those who are happy with corporate model busy so we can do our thing here.
It's certainly not going anywhere unless they end up selling it to someone who shuts it down and uses the posts and links as SEO boosting.
Well, Digg.com still exists. It's just that no one cares.
when you just loaded their site to test you just doubled their monthly active users.
