As an experiment, I searched “tech news aggregator” on both google and DDG. Neither listed Hacker News. Instead, apart from a few actual sites, most of the links were articles saying “top ten tech news sites” or links to quora q&a threads.
It definitely seems that search engines can’t find new websites for people. Now they are just aggregating Q&A.
