The last I read concerning Reddit is they are blocking most search engines from crawling them, except their paying buddies like Google, which is somewhat questionable to put it mildly.
I mean, thank god for that. Google is essentially useless unless you stick "reddit" at the end.
De-indicise Reddit and Google becomes essentially useless.
It's still bad though. The fact that there is a special case just for Google, and search engines have to pay to indicise Reddit is egregious.
I miss the plain text web... :/
This community goes through waves of posts. We have been very active lately though! I was on vacation all last week and at some point things got very busy here haha. It's always nice to see.
