I notice that unless a post is really popular on Lemmy, when you make a search online. You won't find it. Is there a reason for this and how do we make it so it's as easy to access like Reddit?

With federation, a server tends to have posts/comments for the communities that its users subscribe to. You most likely will get the most comprehensive search result on the biggest instance, which is lemmy.world now. And who knows when it's going to start dropping off old data.
