I could be wrong - but I'm not seeing anything that will help search engines index kbin.social effectively. There is a loose robots file, but I'm not seeing any indicator of site maps. Pretty much a necessity if you want to get crawled automatically.
A bang just hands the search term from DuckDuckGo into the search field of the target website.
Safari suggested kbin as a search engine as soon as I loaded it up so it is definitely not a big matter to add it. I'd really enjoy to see this as I use bangs A LOT
A Duck Duck Go !bang is basically just a shortcut to the search bar on a given site. If you search "blahblah" in the kbin search bar, your browser navigates to https://kbin.social/search?q=blahblah. That is all that a !bang would do, is pop your search query at the end of a kbin URL like that and navigate to that URL. Duck Duck Go is not actually searching or crawling anything itself, just giving you a shortcut to kbin's search functionality.
