Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is still all there, but it's rising. :( That really makes me sad. How can we convince the mods there to move people here? Is it allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit or do we risk of being banned?

Maybe? I guess Google would need to actively look for that.

According to their develop pages, they do look for that:

There are a handful of factors that play a role in canonicalization: [...], and rel="canonical" link annotations.

(but Google considers it a hint, so they don't have to honor it)

Also, that change was just for Lemmy. Other Fediverse sites may not do the same, which would lessen the effect. For example, from a quick look at a random federated post on kbin.social, there was no such <link rel="canonical"/> element present in the page source.

Good to know. Might be worth making an issue report on kbin for that: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core

Someone already made one 3 hours ago. Though apparently it won't help by itself, since their robots.txt disallows indexing anyway (and that same issue also requests that to be adjusted).
