How does Lemmy work with search engines? (lemmy.world)

One thing Reddit dominates on is search results. I'm looking things up and seeing so many links to reddit, which I guess is going to help keep that place relevant (unless those subreddits stay dark).

I wondered how Lemmy and this fed thingy stuff all works for that? With more posts can we expect to see people arriving through search results?

Been using DuckDuckGo for years now. I only go to Google if I'm not finding what I need, which isn't that often. And to do that I just pop in !g before my search in DDG and it pushes me to google. Can do the same for other engines like !b for Bing.
