Comment on How come Lemmy rarely shows up in internet search results?

From an SEO perspective, federation looks almost exactly the same as spam unfortunately. A bunch of websites with very similar content that all link to each other but aren’t linked to externally very much.

Yes, it hurts discoverability. How can you have a community without people?

Yes, you need people. But I’d say Reddit has too many people. The Ethernal September problem: sometimes, small is better.

The thing with Reddit is that it got too big and political. It was open before but yet still fun a decade ago.

I’d like to ask it the other way around: How many people would it need until you’d say “Yep, that’s a community alright.”?

This person gets it! After I launched my website/blog it showed up immediately on google, even though it’s content is directly pulled from my Lemmy instance. Which has been running much longer than the site, and cannot be found using search engines.
