That feeling when you're googling the answer to some technical question, and your own Lemmy post appears 4 results down. (lemmy.one)

Hopefully this kind of content is ok here. Up until recently, when I would be searching for some kind of technical info, the top (and best) results would usually all be Reddit posts. I was very pleasantly surprised to do that this time and find a Lemmy post instead!

...It did happen to be a post from me, so unfortunately didn't answer my question at all, but I still thought it was really neat and wanted to share. Has anyone else seen Lemmy stuff getting indexed and turning up in their search results?

Your first mistake was unironically using google to search for anything in 2023.

If you're referring to DuckDuckGo, it's just Bing under the hood.

Right, but the hood is so shiny. :)

I've tried to confirm, but can't find any info on that. Care to provide a source?
