You'll know Lemmy has really caught on when search results for "Lemmy" are more about it than the Motorhead guy.

Lemmy gold for you.
-
The King in Yellow himself. He isn't dead, he just went home.

Maybe if we post news about Lemmy on Lemmy, it will turn more Lemmy fans into Lemmy fans?
-
Yo dawg, I heard you liked Lemmy in your Lemmy....
-
I don't know if you mean turn Lemmy fans into lemmy fans, or lemmy fans into Lemmy fans. But either way, I'm for it.
-
I'm a Lemmy fan and I'm posting on lemmy, so I'm all for posting more about Lemmy on lemmy.

Show some respect to our God and saviour Lemmy Kilmister!
(Yeah I had to Google his last name)
-
The Motorhead guy.
Ugh.
-
That "Motorhead guy" was Lemmy Kilmister and he played rock and roll.

One of the only thing I miss about Reddit was their very active Guitar subs. So I Googled Lemmy Guitar to search for some active forums, and was disappointed that all I got were Lemmy Motorhead links.
If anybody knows any active guitar forums on Lemmy, please let me know. The only ones I found are extremely quiet, with days, weeks, or even months between posts. I can't be the only guitarist on Lemmy, so where are they all hanging out?
-
That's my experience trying to find any specific subject matter on lemmy, google tries to relate it to Motorhead.
-
!guitarporn@sfw.community exists, though it's not exactly bursting with activity (yet). I've tried to put some posts on it recently.

-
To be fair, he's dead, so there's not that much current news.
-
He's still the top Google result tho.
-
As he should be, and it's not like Lemmy doesn't show up right under him

Now I want to see Motorhead cover Thriller.

- result: Lemmy - Wikipedia
Lemmy was born Ian Fraser Kilmister [...]
-
It is already my top result
-
That lemmy was a awesome guy though.
Here is the documentary from 2010

Sometimes, I think about the fact that if I post something really useful here, our traffic's still so comparatively small that it probably won't come up in a search engine query.
But that's the way I like it, baby - I don't want to live forever.

Brain's out, total amnesia
Get some mental aneasthesia
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
I guess I'll see you all on the ice
All good clean fun
Have another stick of gum
Man, you look better already
Motörhead, remember me now
Motörhead, alright
-
What's this Motorhead person?
Also as soon as the search engines start picking it up Lemmy is going to start growing like crazy again
-
Depends on what search engine you use.. Google is pretty bad. Kagi has been showing Lemmy links for years.
-
I was looking for a post on Lemmy yesterday with a vague couple of keywords, used Kagi with "Fediverse forums" lens and bam, right there at the top was the post I was looking for, from a year ago! I couldn't believe it.
It's like how everyone used to search Reddit with site:reddit rather than using the reddit search. Except you can't do that too easily for Lemmy because of all the instances. But the Kagi lens does a pretty impressive job of solving that.

Who'd win in a wrestling match; Lemmy or God?
-
Trick question, Lemmy IS God.
-
Depends. Does Lemmy have a gun?
-
-
Before the whole reddit fiasco, many of my search results were directed to include reddit. I wish I could do the same with Lemmy but no one comments so it's not worth it.
I'm so conflicted right now.
-
I wish Duckduckgo would add a band that would search all of Lemmy via Activitypub
-
Plenty of people comment on Lemmy, but I think the main issue is that everything is split over multiple domains which seems to be ranked lower by search engines. I've recently been seeing Lemmy.world in Google search results, and even some from the "smaller" instances such as sh.itjust.works and db0.
Searxng has a way to query threadiverse posts, perhaps that works better.
-
-
I think we still rank pretty far behind even Lemmy Koopa in the search results.
-
They're not though. If I type Lemmy in Google, about 90% of page 1 is Lemmy from Motorhead .
