The federated nature of instances unfortunately might nerf the SEO because they're from different domains. Google wouldn't value instance_1. com more because the clicks to related_instance_2. com are higher.
I'd imagine if/when the fediverse becomes popular, search engines will account for this.
I thought links between domains helped pagerank score? Mind you, it's been a while since I learned SEO.

I'm going back to some old sources of information. For hardware at least, there's several forums already.
Nowadays we have virtually infinite email space. Create an account for forums, use an alias service like spamgourmet/Firefox relay/simplelogin/etc or the email's own + tag trick.
Search with "-reddit".
Create the content elsewhere.
Also, while Stack Exchange could go belly up as well one day for any reason, it does have several different thematic portals. I've been landing on those now that I filter out reddit results.
100% has this happen today. Wanted and answer, the only answer was on Reddit, and the Google link was busted.
I've definitely felt like my Google searches have been lackluster after a lot of subreddits went dark. from advices to game communities, it sucks to check other forums you have no knowledge of browsing or worse shudders quora
I've run into this several times already
I was looking up traefik labels for my new Lemmy docker-compose setup and had to reference reddit.
