honestly we should have collectively realized way earlier that putting all the useful, readable, un-touched-by-SEO help content for basically every niche hobby fandom and ideology in the hands of one for-profit entity was not very wisdom-pilled of us

The fact that the alt-text directly mentions Diaspora is more than amusing in this context
Need some bots to start porting all those posts over to Lemmy lol.
GOOD!
So… How is Lemmy set for SEO?
It’s not, lol
Had this happen today. Was searching for some programming related stuff and top pages are all inaccessible Reddit posts.
Same, but it’s just growing pains.

Sad thing is most search engines suck/haven’t really indexed mostly anything in the fediverse. Wonder why
The fediverse is really not good for big companies. It cannot be monetized or controlled.
It’s obvious you know this, but we just need a search engine that’s tuned to search the fediverse.
