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.

You're viewing a single thread.
Keep in mind that your Google results are probably highly personalized. For instance, I tried googling that exact phrase (in a private window), and Lemmy doesnt appear for me at all.
This was the first thing that came to my mind. So I tried again, using a VPN (exit server in the USA) and an incognito window. That screenshot came from that result.
Oh weird, fair play to you then!
Yeah, my personalized content probably wasn't so personalized. Still, let's wait to see the results of other people here in this thread.
I got it as 2nd result too! But, I also got this post as the 3rd result ☠️ https://i.imgur.com/hb1QTyg.png
But did you try it from a different computer? While wearing a fake mustache? And typing with a fake french accent? Google is watching!
Damnit...
me typing wit a French accent to throw Ze Man off my trail
Sacré bleu!
You love to see it!
Can confirm, I got it as the third result on mobile if in incognito. Don’t actually get the result without being in incognito which is odd, but it’s mobile too so results are always a bit different.
Regardless, awesome to see that it’s up there at all!!
While probably a valid enough test, keep in mind Google's fingerprinting goes well beyond IP and what incognito applies. There's a reason Tor Browser changes things like browser window dimensions every time you open it.
your browser fingerprint can also tell them who you are.
4th result on duckduckgo via mull on a private tab with a vpn on for me
Edit: I'll whip out mullvad browser when I get home
Edit: having trouble connecting to mullvads dns for some reason will try later
Edit #3: 3rd search result
3rd for me on duckduckgo. Reddit didn’t even show.
And if they really decide to ban Google search indexing, Reddit will be permanently wiped from the face of the internet. It’s like going full stealth mode.
Lemmy was the 5th result for me in private mode, just after youtube
5th and 6th (different lemmy instance) results for me on Kagi

At the very least, I'm sure they track the usual fingerprinting - geolocation etc.
