Comment on For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing
leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks agoI think, as well as the issues you mention, another issue might possibly be duplication. Historically, search engines penalise duplicated content, even across different domains and federation kind of bakes that in.

That’s a great point.
Search engines should fix this for federated websites if they still want the best search results.
For a solution now, I wonder if a 307 (Temporary Redirect) status code, redirecting to the original instance post, could work for search crawlers.

Or maybe using the canonical URL meta tag? I don’t know if it works across different domains.
