One of the most unforgivable things about reddit is how pathetic the search engine is, considering the amount of free, top notch information is captured there and you need google +reddit to get at it, what can we do to make federated alternatives self searchable ?
It does become very fragmented. A post on my single-user server is going to be low down the rankings compared to the same post on a subreddit with the weight of the reddit domain name behind it. I’m also not entirely sure if/how content here gets indexed, especially when it appears under different federated domains. Content discovery is very different in a distributed world.
