I have noticed this too when using a VPN, some of Mullvads servers are blocked.
I know everyone here hates reddit but come on we all go to reddit when we need to find some information because its almost always guaranteed to be there whereas on Lemmy unless it is something tech related or foss related, its pretty much a shot in the dark.

Most of us dumped Reddit when third party apps went away. I personally haven't been back to Reddit since creating a Lemmy account. Screw that place; they don't deserve my patronage anymore. Or anyone's, for that matter. Continuing to use their content is justifying their shitty business practices. It'll never get better if people keep enabling it.
Also, what specific info are you searching for that Reddit can provide? Their search function has always been garbage. Or are you referring to general content and/or subs that don't have an active userbase here yet?

Buildapac is probably still one of the best places to get advice on pc parts.

Yes, but Google's is very good. And it frequently returns links to Reddit.
Google indexes Reddit, it does not index the fediverse
That sounds incorrect. What's your source?
just go on any search engine and ask a specific question and put reddit after it. Chances are you will see at least 5-6 results. Now do the same and put lemmy next to it. Youll see practically nothing
site:lemmy.world "search terms"
They do indeed index, but the fediverse isn't yet highly ranked against other results. The above will let you specifically search whatever site you choose, such as Lemmy.world
I can get this to work on Google and DDG. I haven't bothered checking others. I usually search Lemmy via my app though.
the problem with specifically putting lemmy.world is you are blocking out all the other lemmy instances which could potentially contain the information you are looking for, i could be wrong but i believe this is how it will be when indexing
Previous experience that may no longer be relevant if it is actually doing so now
