Currently it appears that a non-logged-in user (try an incognito window!) will only see posts on a particular server's local communities. So a search engine bot crawling multiple Lemmy servers will only see duplicates if they've been explicitly crossposted.
No, you can definitely browse "all" while logged out. It just defaults to local.
Yes I'm sure that it won't take too long for search engines to cotton on and start indexing Fediverse stuff - after all it's going to be getting linked from other sites, which will cause the spider to head to the source URL and start having a gander.
