After watching the 2nd episode of 11th season of Futurama, I googled "Futurama S11E02 discussion" (without quotes) and Lemmy.world was the 2nd result. We can do it, guys.

If Reddit goes through with their threat of removing their links from Google, then Lemmy will definitely win.
Please, for the love of the internet, never feel like you can't contribute and keep things fun, interesting, and completely weird. That's how we take back what we all love.

If Reddit goes through with their threat of removing their links from Google
Why the hell would they do that?
It's part of blocking 3rd party indexers because they think they're like tiktok, not a library
The only reason I visit Reddit anymore is because it's a vast sea of human experience and knowledge. Usually I just search Google with "[topic I'm interested in learning about] site:reddit.com".
I'm honestly surprised someone at this point hasn't just ported over all the comments from Reddit over to Lemmy, since they're basically public domain comments from the human species that Reddit is just storing. IANAL.
Probably because it'd take a ton of time and money (because of API limits and costs), and it'd potentially disrupt Lemmy too much.
Reddit is a massive site, as far as how much content it's stored over the years.
I assumed that the people over in the DataHoarder communities had archives running this whole time. There's probably data out there somewhere, it's a matter of getting it into a usable hosted state
Probably this https://the-eye.eu/redarcs/
I'm pretty sure I've seen some huge, semi-complete datasets of the site somewhere. Maybe the-eye has something? That would ease the process, since the content has already been hoarded.
Also, the new posts of some subreddits are being copied live to the equivalent Lemmy communities by bots made for that purpose.

These tech freaks have a mercantilist, zero-sum view of how the web works: any link elsewhere is bad and anyone else profiting is your loss. They didn't use to think this way but have gradually built a bubble around themselves over time, losing all perspective of their own users in the process. This also explains the move of this tech cohort to the regressive right wing.
Something to do with Reddit asking big tech companies to pay for AI training on its contents.
Only Elon Musk is that stupid. Empty threats.
