A great use for reddit is the ability to search posts and opinions about any niche topic. Will that be possible with Lemmy as it grows? Will I be able to Google “instant rice Lemmy” and get a comprehensive tier list of each brand?
I imagine search engines will have trouble with all the different instances(?). EDIT: Especially with instances that don’t have Lemmy in their name, I don’t think search engines would return them for Lemmy searches?
I wonder if it’s possible to have a sophisticated search engine similar to Google’s, with BERT and kNN or vice versa. It would be the closest thing to Google search but specifically for Lemmy posts.
