Maybe if we post news about Lemmy on Lemmy, it will turn more Lemmy fans into Lemmy fans?
You'll know Lemmy has really caught on when searching for "Lemmy" returns more results for the forum than for the Motorhead guy.

Yo dawg, I heard you liked Lemmy in your Lemmy…
Bassman1805@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I don’t know if you mean turn Lemmy fans into lemmy fans, or lemmy fans into Lemmy fans. But either way, I’m for it.
oppy1984@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I’m a Lemmy fan and I’m posting on lemmy, so I’m all for posting more about Lemmy on lemmy.

The King in Yellow himself. He isn’t dead, he just went home.
intelisense@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
To be fair, he’s dead, so there’s not that much current news.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Still the top Google result tho.
eric5949@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
As he should be, and it’s not like Lemmy doesn’t show up right under him

Now I want to see Motorhead cover Thriller.

One of the only thing I miss about Reddit was their very active Guitar subs. So I Googled Lemmy Guitar to search for some active forums, and was disappointed that all I got were Lemmy Motorhead links.
If anybody knows any active guitar forums, please let me know. The only ones I found are extremely quiet, with days, weeks, or even months between posts. I can’t be the only guitarist on Lemmy, so where are they all hanging out?
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s my experience trying to find any specific subject matter on lemmy, google tries to relate it to Motorhead.
Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
are you guys just not aware you can filter by site?
guitar site:lemmy.worldskulblaka@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I’ve had middling results using “Lemmy Fediverse” in search strings instead of just “Lemmy”. You still get a lot of Motorhead though.

Be the content you want to see in the world.

I’m planning on getting active on the guitar comms by posting stuff, but Ive been so busy lately. I have time to comment, but posting takes a lot more effort, but Ill be starting over the next week or so, and try to revive a few of these places.
In the meantime, ithers should start posting as well.

!guitarporn@sfw.community exists, though it’s not exactly bursting with activity (yet). I’ve tried to put some posts on it recently.

That lemmy was awesome guy though. Here is the documentary from 2010 www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSRS-LbuaUw

That “Motorhead guy” was Lemmy Kilmister and he played rock and roll.

Brain’s out, total amnesia
Get some mental aneasthesia
Don’t move, I’ll shut the door and kill the lights
I guess I’ll see you all on the ice
All good clean fun
Have another stick of gum
Man, you look better already
Motörhead, remember me now
Motörhead, alright

Sometimes, I think about the fact that if I post something really useful here, our traffic’s still so comparatively small that it probably won’t come up in a search engine query.
But that’s the way I like it, baby - I don’t want to live forever.

Depends on what search engine you use… Google is pretty bad. Kagi has been showing Lemmy links for years.
Dave@lemmy.nz 3 weeks ago
I was looking for a post on Lemmy yesterday with a vague couple of keywords, used Kagi with “Fediverse forums” lens and bam, right there at the top was the post I was looking for! I couldn’t believe it.
It’s like how everyone used to search Reddit with site:reddit rather than using the reddit search. Except you can’t do that too easily for Lemmy because of all the instances. But the Kagi lense does a pretty impressive job of solving that.

Who’d win in a wrestling match; Lemmy or God?

Trick question, Lemmy IS God.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Depends. Does Lemmy have a gun?
Switorik@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Before the whole reddit fiasco, many of my search results were directed to include reddit. I wish I could do the same with Lemmy but no one comments so it’s not worth it.
I’m so conflicted right now.
qaz@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Plenty of people comment on Lemmy, but I think the main issue is that everything is split over multiple domains which seems to be ranked lower by search engines. I’ve recently been seeing Lemmy.world in Google search results, and even some from the “smaller” instances such as sh.itjust.works and db0.

I wish Duckduckgo would add a band that would search all of Lemmy via Activitypub

Show some respect to our God and saviour Lemmy Kilmister!
(Yeah I had to Google his last name)
Apple87sagan@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It is already my top result
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
They’re not though. If I type Lemmy in Google, about 90% of page 1 is Lemmy from Mororhead.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
What’s this Motorhead person?
Also as soon as the search engines start picking it up Lemmy is going to start growing like crazy again
thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 3 weeks ago
the Motorhead guy was a living legend
he’ll be the biggest Lemmy for at least another generation
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Maybe Lemmy should have been called MilliVanilli instead.
