I did a couple of searches with duckduckgo and google, finding that unlike reddit it doesnt really suggest posts on lemmy, just whole communities. Im curious if this is unavoidable with this number of users or if there is a way to make search engines suggest better lemmy results and make the resources accumulating here useful for a broader audience.

Isn't another issue that it requires Javascript for the content to be visible?

Not that i'm aware, I think sites without Javascript should be indexed even better since they are easier to parse by the crawlers.

Yeah that's my point - Lemmy requires JavaScript whereas Reddit will still show the comments without it (at least on old Reddit IIRC).
