A lot of movies, especially horror movies (I’m watching one now) depict blind people as not having pupils.

Is Lemmy searchable from search engines such as Google?
Part of the utility of Reddit to me was the ability to append “Reddit” to searches and be served relevant threads to my search query since Reddit was one of the last places to get information from real people.

Why haven't we seen forums move to Lemmy despite the availability of a forum-like UI?
I recently came across LemmyBB, a frontend for Lemmy that is based on the popular forum software phpBB. It seems like a great way to bring the familiar forum experience to the federated world of Lemmy. However, I haven’t seen any significant migration of forums to Lemmy using this UI.
