How long does it usually take for google to index websites? Because I tried the string lemmy site:lemmy.ml after:2023-06-15 and only one post turned up for me and it was Memes... the current state of affairs does not seem promising ๐Ÿ˜” And if I tried with another instance with the same keywords lemmy site:kbin.social after:2023-06-15 nothing even turned up.

I wonder though, will search engines adapt to Lemmy and its fediverse system? Or will search engines die? Or will we see dedicated search engines to search through the fediverse?

Unfortunately, I've been getting some 404 not found of some communities/magazines of some instances that are not from the instance I'm using, e.g. I'm using kbin.social at the current posting account, but let's say that I tried to access something like https://sh.itjust.works/c/skincareaddiction there's no issues whatsoever (since it's the main instance where that community spawned off) but if I tried https://kbin.social/m/skincareaddiction@sh.itjust.works then I would get the aforementioned error code. I find it pretty inconvenient that caching/indexing of certain less popular (which I assume is what is happening) community working clunkily, it feels not as reliable than using a centralized service, but I guess that this is the price to pay for a decentralized system.

My list

Funsies & Weird brainstorming

  • /r/competitiveoverwatch aka /r/cow (I don't play the game but I sure enjoy the juice)
  • /r/hobbydrama (very diverse type of juicy dramas, miam!)
  • /r/overwatchTMZ (/r/cow but extended)
  • /r/valorantcompetitive (same reasoning for the OW one)
  • /r/livestreamfail (don't post there; but is fun to occasionally lurk and see funny stuffs and be up to date with the latest online juicers)
  • /r/anarchychess
  • /r/singularity
  • /r/BestofRedditorUpdates
  • and 20 more cute animal pictures/videos subreddits like /r/partyparrots, /r/happycowgifs, etc.

Stuffs I use for er..... productivity! yeah yeah productivity, that's right!

  • /r/obsidianmd I enjoy seeing other people's workflow and new tools being developed
  • /r/chatgpt (Recently the main sub went to shit with the influx of new users so /r/chatgptcoding or /r/chatgptpro might be better lol)

Subreddits that I often get led by Google search engine and it would be sad if they were to go down perpetually since I would have a very hard time without them...

  • /r/homelab
  • /r/automation
  • /r/selfhosted
  • /r/datahoarder
  • /r/android
  • /r/sysadmin
  • /r/kitchenconfidential
  • /r/appliancerepair/

I'm also very interested in how some different jobs work so I subbed out to these to check on them occasionally... and they sometimes would provide interesting workflows/insights that I can a-hem, take inspiration from...

  • /r/ExperiencedDevs/
  • /r/accounting
  • /r/uxdesign

There's way more but I visit those a bit less, the problem is, I'm not sure if Lemmy can fill the void in my heart but if it does for those main ones (all above) then I think that I can permanently migrate from Reddit.
