decadentrebelHow exactly did Reddit become a top website and what does Lemmy need to do to eventually get there?
mholivI think we should prioritize SEO.
If you get a link to a Lemmy post you can’t see the contents nor the comments of the post until you click a further link. Or at least I can’t.
And that means google can’t either.
We need to get to the point where people are adding “Lemmy” to their search posts like they do for Reddit today.
Doing a google search for “best budget backpack Lemmy” should bring up results like “best budget backpack Reddit” does today.
I wonder how that’d work though. Like imagine you made a backpack focused Lemmy instance, say backpack.social. How would you get the SEO show up posts under that instance if they add “Lemmy” at the end of the search? It’s probably possible, but I dunno how it works or if that would cause problems. Also would we go with Lemmy? Because should kbin posts also show up, or should they just use Lemmy as an SEO tag?
NemesisFor things like that to work, I believe we would have to rework how search engine indexing fundamentally works.
