How can we improve Lemmy’s SEO so we can google “(question) lemmy” instead of relying on “(question) reddit” (lemm.ee)

most people i know use google by searching whatever question they have and including the word “reddit” at the end to find reddit threads since it currently has the most useful information.

As Lemmy gets more and more filled with useful threads and reviews it would be great if we can collectively improve Lemmy’s SEO so just including the word lemmy in a search will show lemmy threads related to the search.

The obscure tlds used in lemmy servers don’t help and lemmy.com currently redirects to lemm.ee. Is there a way we can improve the SEO of all instances or have lemmy.com be a aggregator of threads from many Lemmy servers?

I don't even want this to happen, personally

Just curious, why not?

I suppose i'd just like something like how IRC was back in the day- people talking to other people, not to be immortalized and searchable by normies
