From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The major difference between lemmy and reddit is that there's many instances for search engines to crawl, compared to a single reddit.com. They likely treat each instance seperately, which leads to a lot of duplicate content and most of lemmy isn't search engine optimized.
Sadly I don't see a better way to do it than for search engines to be optimized for this kind of federated platforms. It's not obvious from the outside which is the preferred instance to show to a user.
I've had some luck finding content on lemmy by forcing a specific instance using
site:lemmy.instance.domain
, but it depends on the search engine whether it's respected.yeah good point about multiple domains
