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.

    But did you try it from a different computer? While wearing a fake mustache? And typing with a fake french accent? Google is watching!

    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.
