A great use for reddit is the ability to search posts and opinions about any niche topic. Will that be possible with Lemmy as it grows? Will I be able to Google “instant rice Lemmy” and get a comprehensive tier list of each brand?

I imagine search engines will have trouble with all the different instances(?). EDIT: Especially with instances that don’t have Lemmy in their name, I don’t think search engines would return them for Lemmy searches?

    It’s a difficult problem but not principly impossible. One potentially good thing about Meta being involved is that if the user base is there, I’m pretty sure Google with their resources and other big tech backing will find a way and incorporate it into their engine.
