Odd that it's an obscure Basque instance though. Wonder why it shows that instead of something like world or ml.
The search engine bots are absolutely powerhouse-obnoxious in how many requests they make, and there a ton of them, and Lemmy's not real optimized to cope with the load -- most big instances block all bot traffic simply as a matter of server survival as a result of that. So I would expect not to see any of them in search results any time in the near future.
