Yeah they might have to change how Lemmy handles posts like that which might break stuff. Search engines would also have to work out that Lemmy is not a single site but a collection and since the site name does not mention Lemmy it might be more difficult

Posts have a canonical reference to the originating instance, e.g. this post contains
<link data-inferno-helmet=“true” rel=“canonical” href=“https://aussie.zone/post/11962005”>for me. This is a hint for search engines to ignore this post and instead index the original one instead. The same also already works for communities, this community containing<link data-inferno-helmet=“true” rel=“canonical” href=“https://aussie.zone/c/meta”>. Not sure if DDG is just ignoring this or there’s another reason for it to show up multiple times.
