Will this hinder Lemmy from ever coming into the mainstream? If I type any topic in Google, I will get a reddit thread that deals with that. Can something like that ever happen for Lemmy?

    The canonical makes sense for the search engine (eg Google). I would put the canonical on the source instance.

    Leaves open the question what would happen if the source would disappear…
