Yes, I am aware. I am not using Google search myself, but they have 92% market share. So other engines are not important when doing SEO. So you do SEO for Google search alone. Whatever are the ranking factors of Google search they will influence the way you need to design and optimize your site. So you need to build your site the way that Google tells you via their ranking algorithm design :D For Lemmy it will be probably enough to just have the content out there and let it be crawled. JS sites are indexed by Google eventually.

it seems like this is often overlooked in monopoly arguments. yes there are other engines, but only one dictates terms for success in acquiring page views
So they are apparently able to index JavaScript sites by running them through Chrome but since this is computationally expensive they can only do this for some sites and with much delay (your site ends up in a queue). HTML is indexed the moment they crawl you site.
What Lemmy could do is “Server-Side Rendering” for Google crawler but it complicates things.
Does that mean that the site has to be built the way Google says?
you’re aware that there’s more than one search engine right? Right now you can’t even index lemmy which is a pretty big deal.

Dude. My Site says on Google Lemmy. Even if I changed the title. Also it don’t shows anything from the content because it’s all java.
