Oh, rabbits. This community is coming up on four months now, and if I may say so, we’ve been a solid community so far, non?
Somehow though, we’re *still* not archived via Google. (flip! and double-flip!)
Ah well. Instead of meckern und stöhnen, let’s try to do something positive, then. So-- starting with “Lucky Luke,” I’ll try to convert our Twitter-style links on the sidebar in to useable, clickable search items.
Eh, I guess that’s okay for now, but honestly I’m not totally happy about that, since it inherently adds server load to our instance. Hmm, or… is it not, our host @[email protected]?
But I’ve seen little forum and blog posts indexed within a day of their posting, and those are places which draw a fraction of the traffic that big instances do.
Yes, and I get that Lemmy is distributed, but any particular thread is still discretely available at it’s home (generational) instance. It’s not hard to understand, and I don’t see why a cutting edge corp like Google couldn’t figure out the best means of tracking such situations.
I mean-- all they need to do is assign a couple of their standard web crawlers to content native to the big instances, right? Or are you saying that the fact that most content is appearing as mirrored content is preventing such bots from working properly.
Sorry, I don’t mean to appear dogmatic or needlessly argumentative; I just don’t get it.
