While being decentralized certainly creates a barrier, most of the details behind PageRank (and the other algorithms in use by Google) are pretty well documented. If it doesn’t already, throwing in Lemmy as a keyword should soon bring up a Lemmy intense (probably Lemmy.ml or Lemmy.World) as a top result. As people click those links, the results will go higher.

The bigger challenge is that the content you are trying to find isn’t here yet. Those results on the old site were built over years of massive user engagement. Lemmy has barely had a month since people started joining en masse, and it’s still a fraction of what we lost.

TL;DR: Just keep using it and spread the word. The rest will happen naturally

I boil with salt and a bit of vinegar in the pot. When I’m done, there is a noticeable white coating on the pot, presumably calcium from the egg shells.

That vast majority of their former employees that I’ve spoken to feel the same way

The numbers are highly skewed because of the launch. A number of users are being paid to create content during the launch. A lot of the users are just checking out the hype. Some will stay, many won’t.

The numbers won’t really be useful or comparable until the dust settles. I give it a month.

Before you do this, you have to decide your strategy. A lawyer - any lawyer - will tell you not to talk to the press while the matter is going through the courts.

Reddit isn’t just trying to balance the budget - they are specifically scrambling to make things work (or at least, look like they will work) for an IPO, which is a beast in and of itself.

I’m glad we don’t have anything like that here!

Now if you’ll excuse me, there’s an interesting post about beans I need to read.

Yeah, do people buy jewelry for their cat?

Jewelry? Am I missing something here? Do people really buy jewelry for their…roommate?

Checks to make sure my instance federates with them

Yup, thank you! I thought LemmyNSFW was our single point of failure

To expand on this, it’s not just capitalism - it’s greed.
