Please be creative! Will there be more communities? Will we refer to each other based on the instances we belong to? Will there be beefs between instances? Will there be doomed romances of two peoples meeting from different places of the fediverse?

    Hopefully the worst it can be is a reddit-clone and not other big social media. I wish there’s a better way to aggregate all lemmy posts and make them searchable in search engines. I reckon it’s the allure of reddit, the random collection of information and discussion from ordinary people you can easily find from search engine without (or at least, less obvious) marketing ploy to sell something. That’s the one thing sadly can’t be replaced by lemmy yet.

    Maybe there should be a universal lemmy search engine for that? Not just to search communities but also for posts and comments (outside the search option in an instance because it’s limited to communities that are joined by the members of that particular instances). I’m not sure how difficult it’s going to be.

      Theoretically, you could have a bot account that subscribes to every known instance in your instance. That would solve the search problem. I’m thinking that would also be the solution to how search engines would index the content on here.
