One thing Reddit dominates on is search results. I'm looking things up and seeing so many links to reddit, which I guess is going to help keep that place relevant (unless those subreddits stay dark).

I wondered how Lemmy and this fed thingy stuff all works for that? With more posts can we expect to see people arriving through search results?

One thing to keep in mind is that Google currently penalizes links that don't end in the common top domains like ".com", ".org" and similar. So something like lemmy.world, if indexed, will rank lower than a site ending in .com with the same keyword density.

Google went from being the most important website on the internet to being more and more useless, it's amazing seeing such a massive company go downhill. But they have so much money that they'll be able to stay big forever from capital alone.

What do you use as a search engine instead of Google? I feel like I've tried everything, but always end up back at Google search.

Been using Ecosia and so far its been very good. I did not have a need to use Google once.

Ecosia uses the Bing algorithm by the way, but with tree planting and better privacy. I think DuckDuckGo does the same. So if you've tried either one of does, there's no need to also try Bing.

Yandex is good if you're sailing the high seas.
