Do Lemmy threads ever show up on search engines (the way Reddit threads do)? I don't think I've ever had Google or DDG point me toward any fediverse thread or post.

To be perfectly clear, "Make fedi better for the future by hopping aboard and contributing today" is fine, I don't object to that. But is that envisioned future, where a search for "Why doesn't my [X] work with my [Y]" points to the fediverse, even possible in principle? I genuinely do not know the answer.
