   @mick @boris @virtuous_sloth @coop that seems kind of nuts. The remote server should probably only show those imported profiles to logged in users, and redirect everyone else. Also, the remote software isn't telling Google not to index those pages.

     @boris @virtuous_sloth @coop right.

     That server does behave differently than Mastodon, which won’t display the locally-stored version of your profile to non-local users.

     That is rather odd. They’re more-or-less indexing the entire Fediverse for public display.

     @virtuous_sloth

     Here's an example link of me on another server https://cosocial.ca/deck/@boris@toolsforthought.social

     If you're logged into CoSocial, that will load my profile and you can browse the whole thing.

     If you're not logged in, it should redirect to the remote profile (try it in an incognito browser window)

     I guess Pleroma doesn't do that, but it SHOULD, precisely because of the indexing thing.

     @boris @mick @coop I get that my posts would be cached on many servers due to followers being on those servers so that they can be added into various timelines.

     What is much less obvious is having a pseudo-profile of only my posts under a URL like that. Weird

     @virtuous_sloth anyone that follows you, their server potentially caches some of your posts on their server

     Depending on the server cache settings, it will cache your posts local to their server.

     Our own servers cache for 7 days? @mick there's a difference between media and posts I think?

     That other server a Pleroma install, a different but compatible ActivityPub microblogging server

     Hey @coop, has anyone seen anything like this?

     I decided to see what Googling my handle would return and after hitting a few on our server I got this URL which seems to be an imperfect mirror of my profile here.
