Given growth lemmy has, I am just curious what SEO and discoverability options are being implemented to help propel lemmy and its related posts/communities/etc to the front page of google/bing/yahoo/search engines.
If not yet, maybe this could be a valid talking point for the next development of reddit? It would be so cool to see lemmy related posts on google in the wake of reddit’s vacuum.
I’m not sure if this is a genuine concern or if this should be one, though. Just some food for thought if lemmy is to be the next front page of the internet.
Well, your question actually shows up on google now!
https://www.google.com/search?q=seo+discoverability+options+lemmyWoah!!! That’s actually quite fast and unexpected. I guess that answers the question of discoverability. The remaining question is then, how?
And can it be replicated to other posts? It would be amazing if anyone who posts a question in google is given a link to lemmy.
I’m also curious about this. Search engines typically penalize duplicated contents, but thanks to federation, contents are duplicated across large number of federated Lemmy instances. Will this hurt or actually help SEO? I guess we could wait for a few months and see what happen then.
