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?

Things you send to friends and family will not be indexed by Google, so that is somewhat useless for this purpose.

Sure but it creates tragic, and they might click around and subscribe, maybe search for it in the future.
