Reddit is a trove of incredibly useful and niche information across a huge range of topics. I wonder if Lemmy will be as searchable from Google, and if it will serve a similar purpose.

Depends on SEO and ActivityPub. I could see a dystopian future where the Silicon Valley refuses to improve on this use case, to push monolithic social media forward, which would also be in the interest of authoritarian governments.

Would it be possible to build a search engine specifically for the fediverse?

Don't they just use Bing's search engine?
