How can we improve Lemmy’s SEO so we can google “(question) lemmy” instead of relying on “(question) reddit” (merv.news)

most people i know use google by searching whatever question they have and including the word “reddit” at the end to find reddit threads since it currently has the most useful information.

As Lemmy gets more and more filled with useful threads and reviews it would be great if we can collectively improve Lemmy’s SEO so just including the word lemmy in a search will show lemmy threads related to the search.

The obscure tlds used in lemmy servers don’t help and lemmy.com currently redirects to lemm.ee. Is there a way we can improve the SEO of all instances or have lemmy.com be a aggregator of threads from many Lemmy servers?

What if we wanted to reject and change the new norm, just as we rejected Reddit and Twitter and started the Fediverse?

The silent majority are never going to have the time to blow on shit that people who get so mentally invested in this stuff do.

That’s what people don’t seem to understand. The silent majority is not mindless by choice. They’re mindless by design.

So how do we reverse the trend? They didn't start out that way, like you said, it was designed. So how do we undermine those designs?
