Genuine question: I've always used reddit as a source for information regarding work, hobbies and recommendations. Will I be able to type in ${topic} lemmy and get links to some real information in a lemmy "subreddit" regarding a topic without having to browse a top ten list of some fuck face?

in a search engine? sure, once instances get indexed
lemmy.ml is already searchable - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=fediverse+site:lemmy.ml

Nice, because I think that is what lemmy or any other reddit substitute needs - searchability of the knowledge that is contained on that platform
