Twitter and Reddit are often pretty good at getting postings and comments onto Google Search results so that you can find past conversations about a specific topic.
Discord is the kind of social media site where I almost never find anyone link specific content or get hits on a search engine.
I’m assuming “Ask Lemmy” is like “Ask Reddit” where there is supposed to be an implied concept that you mean “Ask Lemmy Community”, and the word “Community” isn’t explicit.
Right now the community description on the right sidebar says “A loosely moderated place to ask open ended questions”… it may be beneficial to make that more verbose: “A loosely moderated place to ask open ended questions to the Lemmy community of users”. Not to say newcomers will read that ;)
