MODERATORS
In my opinion, pushing lemmy to be a Reddit replacement isn’t the right move. Instead, Lemmy should be pushed as something that previously bulletin board forums dominated: the hobbyist, niche, discussion forum.
We don’t need hundreds of millions of users. Hell, most people stopped posting on places on Reddit that had too many users. What you want are communities with thousands of passionate users.
My point is that Google indexing would also be great, but more important is the ability to search these communicators for archivable posts. Reddit’s search functionality was dogshit so we had to rely on Google.
“communicators” = “communities”. I can’t seem to find an edit button on Mlem
