I’m curious as to why Lemmy rarely shows up in search results on the main internet even if there is a post related to the search input. I’ve only ever seen a Lemmy result if Lemmy is specified. Is this because we’re still relatively small or some other reason?
Each fediverse instance is ranked separately that’s the biggest issue. Each specific post is ranked based on the instance of the community its from due to content origin links. So the same post isn’t ranked separately but each instance is only ranked based on the posts to its own communities.
