Hopefully this kind of content is ok here. Up until recently, when I would be searching for some kind of technical info, the top (and best) results would usually all be Reddit posts. I was very pleasantly surprised to do that this time and find a Lemmy post instead!

...It did happen to be a post from me, so unfortunately didn't answer my question at all, but I still thought it was really neat and wanted to share. Has anyone else seen Lemmy stuff getting indexed and turning up in their search results?

I honestly don't think Google crawlers knows how to index the fediverse but I am kind of talking out of my ass rn.

Fediverse is just another website. It literally finds my username on many other instances posts got replicated to.
