If you didn’t know, on DuckDuckGo you can search for posts or magazines with site:kbin.social just like you would with Reddit. The same applies to any other Fediverse site like Kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc… I was really frustrated because it seems like Google was intentionally suppressing them.

Mastodon users have the option to opt-out of search engines indexing by adding tags to their post hat are readable by web crawlers.
So you might not find everything from mastodon, but for a reddit-like it makes sense to be indexed.
Assuming crawlers actually respect it. I’ve had to IP ban some crawlers because they didn’t.

Yeah…
That makes sense, thanks.
