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.

The search engines are going to have to deal with that. However you can provide context in the instance in the form of a canonical URL, to tell a search engine where content originated.
