When launching a new website, to what search engines do you submit the URL to, and how? (lemmy.world)

Whenever I launch a new web project I go to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to flag that the new website exists. The idea is to start getting SEO seniority / attention as early as possible.

Is there any other tool I should be registering my website in, or are these the major two?

Link to it from other frequently indexed websites. Post it on Facebook, Reddit, blogs etc.

Coo, cool. No other search engine / platforms web builders are using to flag their websites to the internets?

Honestly, those don't matter at all, except for debugging the crawling

Did you know, though, that most of those platforms at rel="nofollow" to their links, effectively rendering them useless in terms of SEO? TIL.
