I'm curious as to why Lemmy rarely shows up in search results on the main internet even if there is a post related to the search input. I've only ever seen a Lemmy result if Lemmy is specified. Is this because we're still relatively small or some other reason?

because the WWW is now so unimaginably big that something needs to show up on the first page, and except for very obscure search terms, that "something" will probably be more well-known pages that have invested more in SEO
