    Well, for the exact reason I said. Google ignores reference to anything without other corroboration. Hard or anchor links are necessary.

    Fediverse content requires fluidity, and the same content is available at dozens of places. If they scrape the same post at different endpoint URIs, it will be discarded as spam.

    This isn’t even news, it’s a known thing, and Google themselves described this in their SEO docs. No Fediverse instance is going to be spending money with Google to get a higher ranking, so it’s just kind of not going to show up.

      Duplicate content is no problem. All posts have a canonical tag that points to the source post. Google will automatically only add that one URL to the index.
