Thank you for breaking that down some more. It makes sense that a repost of a conical url would be omitted from search results.

I guess Iā€™m curious about if the way Iā€™m doing content aggregation on 1VIBE is the best way to do it in a Forem community. Iā€™m also thinking about how these aggregated posts would affect SEO. I know that Forem was purposely made more for publishing original posts.

Totally understand! And really thanks for helping me to clarify things... it hadn't occurred to me that reposting could also mean aggregate posts, but of course it could!

I honestly don't know if the way that you're sharing aggregate content would positively or negatively affect the SEO on 1VIBE. I know that original content is supposed to be most helpful for SEO, but beyond there obviously levels of grey with how "original" content is. There's duplicate content, aggregate posts (like you describe), and posts that heavily site other sources... but I can't currently speak to how each of these types of posts affects SEO. I'm going to hunt around and see if I can find any resources out there that will help us; if I find something good, you'll be the first to know! šŸ™‚
