I was wondering if the search engines are indexing the fediverse. Because recently Google search became so bad so I was always putting Reddit at the end to get some not so generic results and I haven’t even noticed to get any replies pointing to the fediverse ever. So I was wondering if search engines were actually indexing the content here?

    One good thing about Reddit is that one could add a “site:reddit.com” at the end of each Google search to improve the results.

    This won’t work as well with Lemmy (since it’s all a bunch of different domains). Hope that in the future a feature like this is implemented to search across the fediverse

      Yeah, perhaps another qualifier that’s, say, specifies the protocol, e.g. Activity Pub? Would be handy
