I did a search 'site:lemmy.ml' and a lot of pages came up. 'site:lemmy.world' returns 296 results for me.
I think this could be a problem for the fediverse. I can't make a global search in Google because each Lemmy server has a different domain. If I find a post from lemmy.ml, I can't answer the post because I have an account in lemmy.world, and so on.
I'm still getting used to this but, I think you can respond to that Lemmy.ml post using your Lemmy.world account if the two instances are federated. I've made comments to posts in communities hosted on instances other than my home instance.
I can answer posts from other instances. As long as they're federated you can
Hopefully in time google search would be smart enough to know all the instances of lemmy are all lemmy. Maybe site:lemmy.ml won’t work but just adding lemmy at the end of a search might
They seem to be, but not sure how quickly the results are updated
I guess not😭
