As many others have already said, Lemmy is fully indexable by search engines. In fact, in this very community there have been posts about Lemmy content being above other results from more prominent sites like Reddit for certain topics.

What? There is no “Fediverse objection” to indexing by search engines. Who told you that? Lemmy is actively being indexed and is showing up when you search for posts.

Okay pal. Judging from your comment history, you seem to be a very belligerent person. Maybe it is time for reflection? Maybe it’s not always the others that are stupid? Maybe it’s not always you that has the “moral high ground”?

So take your pompous attitude and choke on it.

See how your blatant and baseless assumption falls apart? Idiot.

So sick of you Linux clowning fanboys parading your free advertising.

Maybe they could? After all, these things were built.

Definitely. Not often, but when I had them, they were strong and affected me for the remainder of the day.

Maybe for their first (genuine appearing) part, they use snippets from other, actual human comments? Because they really look quite convincing

But maybe some vomit can be tasty?

Why should it affect LW or any other (non-Texan) instance? Any rogue country with populists at the head can implement any arbitrary legislation. That does not affect Lemmy instances hosted in countries with reasonable governments. If Texas wants to enforce their rules (or punish for non-compliance), it is on them to approach instance admins or block the site in their corner of the global internet.

What? That is not at all how that works. Beans is the plural of bean, therefore, many is the only correct option.

I don’t think that “live chat” is fitting for Lemmy. It is an aggregator in the first place. There are already other FOSS services for live chatting, such as Matrix. IMHO, adding such a feature to Lemmy would be out of the scope of the project and probably result in a bad and dysfunctional implementation.

I don’t know what kind of phones you are using. Flagship phones nowadays have phenomenal cameras, with sensors as good as in dedicated professional camera devices.

P2P? How is that supposed to work? You cannot expect every user that uploads a video to even have remotely enough uptime for any arbitrary interested person to successfully watch their video

That would then mean that small instances would have to prove themselves before being accepted in the wider network of instances and just end up centralizing the fediverse.

Most of us want the Fediverse to eternally decentralise. Imho, this would be the optimal scenario. Whitelists would be a major obstacle to the décentralisation effort.

Sorry, but this post is ridiculous. I hope it’s irony. We are on Lemmy for our shared values and in order to uphold them. Standing up for what is important to you despite technical difficulties (especially such minor ones like the one you are dealing with) is a display of integrity. This issue should not motivate you to leave Lemmy for Reddit.

But if we want people on Lemmy who don’t know what Linux is, then we need to avoid that massive barrier of asking users to pick an instance. And the second massive barrier of registration applications.

How so? Those things do not have anything to do with each other. The concept of Lemmy instances can literally be explained in less than a minute.
