How can we improve Lemmy’s SEO so we can google “(question) lemmy” instead of relying on “(question) reddit” (merv.news)

most people i know use google by searching whatever question they have and including the word “reddit” at the end to find reddit threads since it currently has the most useful information.

As Lemmy gets more and more filled with useful threads and reviews it would be great if we can collectively improve Lemmy’s SEO so just including the word lemmy in a search will show lemmy threads related to the search.

The obscure tlds used in lemmy servers don’t help and lemmy.com currently redirects to lemm.ee. Is there a way we can improve the SEO of all instances or have lemmy.com be a aggregator of threads from many Lemmy servers?

I would love to Google search Lemmy instead of reddit. I just don't know how feasible it would be being that Lemmy is decentralized.

I'll be a bit scared doing that, with all the instances I've been thinking how easy it will be to have malware links. How is shi.t.justwo.rks or whatever less random than a malicious link?
