As per title, I do think this could be a pivoting factor on whether Lemmy (and other federated services) can reach critical mass.

Doing a simple search on major search engines would likely yield a Quora or Reddit result or more on the first page.

It's critical that Lemmy posts have that same kind of traction to attract a large enough user base.

That's just my observation.

Give it time before we get the love from Google. As long as we keep conversations relevant and information sourced from good sources Google will start pushing Lemmy to the top.

Also screw quora, site is full of spamlinks and crappy answers. I wanted to check for a deleted tweet on my profile and the first quora answer on the first result after googling wanted me to enter a shortened link. Sus.
