Thanks, I totally forgot that robots.txt existed. Since you are replying, do you know the difference between badges and tags?
I wonder if there some way for instances to use the canonical tag to point to the original and make it less annoying for search engines.
That said, I guess id rather see it crawled and let search engines figure it out then have it not crawled at all. Not really sure where that feedback goes though.
Maybe someone smarter than me can explain things, but It's been about a month since I've started the process of creating a magazine to support the reddit/discord community I've helped mod for the past 4 years... but I've noticed that zero posts show up in google search. Lot's of communities are indexed, some tags are, but not really any posts (unless I don't know how to search, I assumed site://kbin.social was enough to skim for this). Compared to something like: site://lemmy.world where individual posts are indexed. Is it just because it's new(er)? Is there something technically wrong with Kbin that it's taking so long to be crawled? (I thought maybe some noindex was setup but that doesn't seem it) Until posts start getting indexed at a relatively decent rate, even slowly, I can't antipate any progress in adoption since that typically is a large driving factor, at least for my niche. I know that for the subreddit part that was always a large source of traffic. While I'm being social - can someone explain what Tags and Badges are? Thanks.

Just commenting because it's unclear where I should ask these questions... but... is there a reason why individual kbin threads do not seem to show up on google search at all. Only magazines and tags seem to show up. Even the oldest posts do not seem to have search entries (unless I am missing something or looking at it wrong). I've tested some older lemmy threads and those do seem to show up.

Maybe it's a server issue with all the new traffic but is the way to not get logged out after such short periods of time/usage? Feels like any time I attempt to interact with something on kbin I have to relog in.
Also, as someone else provided feedback on, being able to hide threads in a comment feed would be super useful. If it exists now I haven't figured.out how to do it
Just my initial feedback.

I agree. Once a comment gets like 20 replies it can be pretty unreadable. Have my updoot.

If reddit magically goes back and fixes it's API issues, will this instance stay supported? Same question, but if the subreddit opens up (with NSFW or as normal?). Hoping the answer is yes, but wasn't sure what the plan was there.
I'm also not sure how technically this all works. For instance, I'm reading this on kbin, but obviously you guys have your own instance that is federated on pathofexile-discuss.... but what happens to the content if your instance goes down (or in the opposite direction, say it got so popular you couldn't afford to keep it up?).
Sorry for 20 questions! Trying to learn more in both cases while supporting the effort.

I might try this with my kid but it doesn't SOUND very interesting beyond just trying it out once in a while. But who knows, maybe I'm judging to harshly before trying it.

Has it been confirmed it will be on PC in 6 months or is that just a hope? I haven't decided if I want to wait or not.
