agreed, is there any way to fix this?

i’m fairly certain that it really just depends on the google web crawlers to find and index pages. but if the posts are public that’s just a matter of time.

even with reddit, a post has a new URL so takes some time to be indexed by google or other search engines.

so maybe it’s just a matter of delivering relevant content over time so that lemmy results get preferred over others

i refuse to partake

for sure. I’m sure they are monitoring the overall activity of the fediverse, if not solely out of curiosity.
