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?

    Gotta keep this up! So much of my google results are Reddit forum posts

      So many Reddit posts are removed and useless. And often these posts used to be the main answer. I don’t bother much with Redditt anymore. It’s not the knowledgebase it used to be. Will likely never be again.

      Some questions I “reask” here on Lemmy and get decent replies. Thus building a new knowledgebase.

        That’s exactly what all of us should do. Thank you for being proactive. We need more of you.
