One of the best things about reddit was looking for answers or other users with the same problem as you, and since Google didn’t really help with that anymore and instead insisted on giving you business results, the best practice was to put your search terms in followed by ‘reddit’ and you’d find your answer.
First we need to offer google competitive answers to reddits. Then it will consider indexing us.
We could just pay Google. How else do you think scam sites keep appearing at the top of Google searches
Not the way Google works. It’s probably indexing most medium size instances and up. They just need to get better Pagerank along with the other metrics google uses now to show up more prominently
