This is what happens when everyone does 'SEO,'
It really seems like nowadays that internet search is just people trying to game the system for clicks. But it has made everything superficial and fake. Not to mention, utterly useless.
I don't know what the solution is really. It's easy to say 'dont do SEO' but people will just find some way to game that system too. It was great when Reddit wasn't complete shit, because the subreddits dedicated to a particular topic had great insights into whatever topic you wanted to know about. But now that it's a cesspool, and Lemmy is tiny in comparison, id say get used to the Internet being like this for a while.
Especially if you somehow tryout some popular program, for example wordpress. The most search results are just different best of xy plugins lists. Even if you search for issues. Its like you are suddenly in a whole different bubble of the internet and everything is broken.
