Topic: Letting Google index this Zulip

This Zulip has many "web-public" streams -- they can be accessed anonymously. However, they cannot be indexed by search engines unfortunately

Web-public streams do not yet support search engine indexing. You can use zulip-archive to create an archive of a Zulip organization that can be indexed by search engines. https://zulip.com/help/public-access-option#caveats

So it is probably worth setting up https://github.com/zulip/zulip-archive and host it as, say, chat.nixos.asia.

Voilà :right: https://chat.nixos.asia/

No styling, though.

yes, better than nothing. However SEO for the actual public part of Zulip would be really a neat thing to have tbh

if there is no way around this, it might imply that Discourse is actually superior to Zulip as a public forum?

Incidentally, I've also written my own Zulip archiver, it renders like this: https://funprog.srid.ca/

(uses github pages as well)
