Lemmy is not opimized for google. There is some consideration when you run a full-javascript app like Lemmy, and to the best of my knowledge, Lemmy didn't follow their guideline.

If lemmy takes off, like Reddit, and has lots of content, google will adjust their algorithm to compensate and include it. Lemmy will likely focus on better SEO if it helps growth, but scaling and stability and usability are more important right now.
Guidelines are for little guys!
It can take weeks for things to show up in a search engine and then it might not be ranked highly if it is. Right now Lemmy does show up in search results, you can see if you search for site:Lemmy.world, it's just ranked low. Give it time and have more people post here and eventually things will show up closer to the top of google search results.
It'll take some time to settle everything up
I see some Lemmy results quite fine. Google results need some time to be indexed.
