They do, the problem is 1: Google prioritize Reddit. And 2: free domains like. ml dont show up on Google, so Lemmy.ml is practically invisible.
How did you find out that .ml isn't on Google? Sure, it might be buried below shitton of sites that paid to be on top, or sites with better SEO, but they are not inherently invisible.
I didn't know that about free domains. What is Google's (at least publicly acknowledged) rationale for this?
This isn't true, you can google "lemmy ml" and lemmy.ml will show up in the results
