It looks like you run your own instance. Can you check your server logs and see if the GoogleBot or Facebook are scraping your posts?

@freemo do you know if Google and Facebook are honoring the robots.txt on Qoto?

@antares Bots are usually behind anonymous Ips so its hard to track. But I dont see anything that resolves to an IP that is obviously from google or facebook.

@freemo @antares Googlebot doesn't hide. See https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/verifying-googlebot.
