Maybe 10 years from now if this picks up. Reddit did not have as much on its first days either.
reddit still doesn't have a functional search lol, people have to use Google with site modifiers.
Yeah this is one of the main uses for Reddit.
It might be harder with Lemmy instances spread across different domains, but hopefully the search engines learn to prioritize Lemmy well
I wonder how federated activity pub instances fair on seo
Depends on SEO and ActivityPub. I could see a dystopian future where the Silicon Valley refuses to improve on this use case, to push monolithic social media forward, which would also be in the interest of authoritarian governments.
Would it be possible to build a search engine specifically for the fediverse?
I could see DuckDuckGo being supportive
Don't they just use Bing's search engine?
If the user base and content continue to grow at the current rate, it’s very likely. Reddit won’t just go away though. There is still a lot of content there and most people won’t stop using it anyway.
If they really go through with hamstringing the mods, reddit is going to be awash in a sea of spam and vitriol. I mean like, more than the usual amount.
