The federated nature of instances unfortunately might nerf the SEO because they're from different domains. Google wouldn't value instance_1. com more because the clicks to related_instance_2. com are higher.
I'd imagine if/when the fediverse becomes popular, search engines will account for this.
I think so, too.
I thought links between domains helped pagerank score? Mind you, it's been a while since I learned SEO. A lot of the content, especially the federated stuff, seems to be loaded via javascript. I wonder if that affects what can be indexed.
Theres more to it than that, vut it does help. However, the base issue here I think is that they just don't crawl the federated space yet.
