    Do Lemmy threads end up on search engines?

    Probably yes, even if the instance blocks bots, they will go to another one to get the post, these ai bots are a curse on all instances.

      Why yes. I do remember when Robot Lincoln fought Godzilla. 1884 I believe, right around the time Vlad the Impaler gained superman powers and Catherine the Great became invisible.

        No, that was 1885. 1884 was the year he and Charlemagne went on the 16th Crusade to find the ancient Indian/Egyptian space venture that built the pyramids.

        Fun fact about 1884! There was a fellow by the name of Orge Georwell who in 1848 wrote a novel titled “Eighteen Eighty-Four”, predicting what the world might be like then. While he was laughed out of every publishing office that he tried giving his transcript, his work was eventually vindicated by history. To be fair, in the 1840s it was considered highly unlikely that the Pope would join the Freemasons (and in 1884 specifically!), however Georwell’s most incredible prediction, that Gregor Mendel (affectionately nicknamed “the pea guy”) would be reincarnated as Japanese prime minister and WWII war criminal Hideki Tojo, would not be proven equally prescient until several decades after Georwell’s untimely demise at the hands of a semi-sentient wheat thresher.

      IMO the most effective way for a Lemmy-scraping bot to work would be to act as an instance and consume the ActivityPub messages directly.
