Hi, I’m relatively new here. Like probably a lot of people, I appended the word “reddit” to most of my searches to get discussions around my interests/news or to find “curated” things. I noticed that it does not work as great with “Lemmy” for example, as the user base is more spread out and smaller in general.
- I’ve looked for a search engine for the Lemmy or fediverse with no luck. There exists some to find communities but not to return posts it seems.
- If it does not exists, is this even something that can be built? Would one need to build a crawler or use an API? I would be very interested to contribute to such a project.
Do we know if/that Lemmy posts are getting indexed by google? I haven’t had much luck throwing “lemmy” into my google searches but presumably if we do it should start getting more traffic and increase rank?
They do getting indexed ;)
Nice.

This obviously isn’t very good though cause it will only index posts on lemmy.world, not other indexes, no?
