Hello everyone. My community community.smarthome.org.ua is focused on smart home topics and runs on Discourse. Only in Google it is shown as Xplore Sports Forum, even though I never set or used this name. In DuckDuckGo and Bing the name is correct. Any advice on why this happens and how to fix it?

> Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that in Google search results, my forum displays the name “Instagram” instead of the actual forum name. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Some context: My forum is hosted under the domain forum.evteam.pl. I haven’t intentionally set anything related to “Instagram.” Could it be related to metadata, cached content, or something else? Any advice on diagnosing and fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
