How come Lemmy rarely shows up in internet search results? (slrpnk.net)

I'm curious as to why Lemmy rarely shows up in search results on the main internet even if there is a post related to the search input. I've only ever seen a Lemmy result if Lemmy is specified. Is this because we're still relatively small or some other reason?

I also noticed that when Lemmy links do appear it's often to a random federated instance, not the original source.
