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?

      How many of the millions of people doing searches will add Lemmy specifically? This only works if you wish to specifically search Lemmy, for which I’d suggest adding (intext:"modlog" & "instances" & "docs" & "code" & "join lemmy" | intext:"powered by kbin") to a Whoogle search would do better.
