    That might be one reason lemmy.world has a relatively high domain authority.

    Can this be improved? Can we post link to LW on every existing Lemmy instance to increase its authority?

    In this case, what prevents Reddit from creating their own network of fake instances, with bots users, and posts Reddit links everywhere there to increase their own authority?

      I’m no SEO expert, but search engines penalize websites for gaming the system. I’ve already read some suggestions that Google is not sure what to do with the fediverse because it already looks like spam, and that may be why it doesn’t show up often in search results. That’s beyond my knowledge.
