Google searched worked really well for reddit if trying to find an answer to a technical question or the like. How well will this translate for Lemmy? I assume it would be a lot more difficult as the post could reside on any number of smaller instances.
lemmy-ui dynamically populates content from a JSON fetch in Javascript, so I expect it will be poor for search engines. In both Chrome and FIrefox on desktop, I can’t even save a post or comments with the normal browser ‘save’ feature.
Doesn’t new Reddit and many other sites do this as well? I suspect this isn’t as big of a problem as it seems.
There’s certainly workarounds that are possible. I saw something the other day on a Google help site that provides SEO tips for dynamically generated JavaScript websites. But I’d imagine it hasn’t been a priority for the Lemmy devs yet.
