How visible is lemmy on search engine? (self.asklemmy)

I was wondering if the nature of decentralization would negatively affect SEO, since people can access the same post from many different instance

How long does it usually take for google to index websites? Because I tried the string lemmy site:lemmy.ml after:2023-06-15 and only one post turned up for me and it was Memes... the current state of affairs does not seem promising 😔 And if I tried with another instance with the same keywords lemmy site:kbin.social after:2023-06-15 nothing even turned up.

I wonder though, will search engines adapt to Lemmy and its fediverse system? Or will search engines die? Or will we see dedicated search engines to search through the fediverse?

Anything between a couple of hours to more than a week, I don't think having a "real-time feed" through Google is important though. Other than world cup scores, their results were never about speed.
