Is Lemmy Indexable?
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?

Yeah, this is actually a big worry to me, on Reddit especially because I think it would be easy (if not easier) to find out info about me by the subreddits I was active in
But it's also nice to have stuff indexed in Google when looking up product reviews and technical issues, etc. - it's a double-edged sword.
Ideally it'd be possible to make some comments pseudonymous at least (so only instance admins, or possibly community moderators could see the real author).
There was extenstions that allowed you to click a button on someones name and see what subs they were active in at a glance. There was also websites you could put a username into that showed detailed history of how that user interacted with reddit. What they subed to, what times they were active, sentiment analysis on their comments etc.
Yeah it's a hassle to have to create alt accounts.
