Description
### Your use case
This is especially bad for matrix.org accts.
Anyone can spin up an instance true. But the matrix search bar for most users (many are matrix.org) mainly indexs matrix.org rooms meaning non matrix.org rooms are very difficult to find. To find non matrix.org rooms, services like lemmy have to be used and they have to be active promoted there.
### Have you considered any alternatives?
Using 3rd party websites to find rooms.
