I just tried to see how to reference a magazine in Kbin by searching Google. ( www.google.com )

First try, Reddit post in r/Kbinmigration (I think) and it didn’t let me see the real post. Second time, it doesn’t even include Reddit posts and all about citing a magazine in APA style, and the like. Google dropping Reddit search? Because of API costs? No, because searching Reddit news yields Reddit as the top 5 entries. So maybe Reddit is just rejecting API calls based on the search terms? Any API search with kbin or lemmy sent to Reddit is rejected? I am not that knowledgeable about this stuff, so if I’m way off, just let me know. Just thought it was interesting.

Not API related as google uses crawlers to scrape and index everything.

Use the following search term in google:

site:reddit.com subscribe to kbin magazine

Then is the reason that no Reddit posts appear on the search because Reddit is restricting access to that page?

Google doesn’t use an API. It just scrapes pages
