Fun fact: Google has to pay royalties to Windsor Castle since they had a Keep product first.
FOSS is lemmys greatest strength and its biggest flaw. Too much foss nerdery on lemmy and it's boring the average folk.
Sync is great... Lemmy as a whole? Lots of work to do. Shit is pretty stagnant around here.
Very little information contained here, and riddled with ads. Thanks for the effort I guess.

The long and short of it - Google search was designed at a time when the web was in its infancy. Basically just text and a few images.
Fast forward to today, and reddit is the only one that still allows its data to be crawled.
