I literally couldn’t find Lemmy.world on Google by searching Lemmy.world, it was wild to see that.

I can see it on the localized version of Google where I’m at.
Google heavily prioritizes .com, .org and other similar “popular” top level domains.
.world, . travel and similar ones are heavily penalized in Google’s ranking for search results.
We just need to keep it up. Contribute to the communities we like, and we will rank up surely. :)

i imagine a fedisearch engine will come out that can search lemmy, kbin, mastodon, etc. efficiently; so instead of googling “how to x site:reddit.com”, we’ll just fedisearch “how to x”
in fact, i’m pretty sure i already found one but it wasn’t very good, and i’ve forgotten it’s name
