Unfortunately, I’ve been getting some 404 not found
of some communities/magazines of some instances that are not from the instance I’m using, e.g. I’m using kbin.social
at the current posting account, but let’s say that I tried to access something like https://sh.itjust.works/c/skincareaddiction
there’s no issues whatsoever (since it’s the main instance where that community spawned off) but if I tried https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]
then I would get the aforementioned error code. I find it pretty inconvenient that caching/indexing of certain less popular (which I assume is what is happening) community working clunkily, it feels not as reliable than using a centralized service, but I guess that this is the price to pay for a decentralized system.
How long does it usually take for google to index websites? Because I tried the string
lemmy site:lemmy.ml after:2023-06-15
and only one post turned up for me and it wasMemes
… the current state of affairs does not seem promising 😔 And if I tried with another instance with the same keywordslemmy site:kbin.social after:2023-06-15
nothing even turned up.I wonder though, will search engines adapt to Lemmy and its fediverse system? Or will search engines die? Or will we see dedicated search engines to search through the fediverse?
