Will people start adding "lemmy" to the end of their Google searches? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Reddit is a trove of incredibly useful and niche information across a huge range of topics. I wonder if Lemmy will be as searchable from Google, and if it will serve a similar purpose.

Once Lemmy is huge, won't it have the same problems as Reddit? in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Hmm, those are some good points. I am mainly concerned with the difficulty in moderating the server well (especially as it scales) but your and the other comments have mostly convinced me.

what's the asshole mitigation plan? in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Well, a huge caveat to that is that there are world class Researchers who create constantly adapting intelligent spam filters to keep spam out of inboxes. Maybe the fediverse will have something like that someday! Who knows!

For example:

  • bots everywhere
  • astroturfing
  • repost bots being sold to spread propaganda
  • etc.

This is my worry for the Web. Lemmy seems even more open than Reddit was (less bot prevention). Maybe Lemmy will get beefier protection as time goes on?
