This person gets it! After I launched my website/blog it showed up immediately on google, even though it’s content is directly pulled from my Lemmy instance. Which has been running much longer than the site, and cannot be found using search engines.

I appreciate it! 😁

Don’t worry its a good question:

• Hosting just a single page is incredibly easy, hosting and maintaining a federated instance is not
• It’s just about as barebones as it gets, all the heavy lifting is done by and on the Lemmy instance
• Set and forget
• The content is interacted with by the federation, who are probably not even be aware of the blog

I’m posting this with my alt because I seem to be having federation issues ironically enough, my usual instance is 0d.gs
