Someone else recently notice their website wasn't indexed by Bing and they've got a similar message. The whole story is thoroughly documented. Maybe Codeium can follow their steps to resolve the issue? https://daverupert.com/2023/02/solved-the-case-of-the-bing-b...

We did sign up for Webmaster tool, verified the site, and did the few things that they told us to do :(

It's showing for me.

Start with a robots.txt? https://www.codeium.com/robots.txt Update: I also see that you serve your site off GitHub... so that might be part of it as well? Bing might not index those sites?

Why would Bing require a robots.txt when all the other major search engines are fine with a sitemap.xml? Or are these separate somehow?

A day later, I see you added the robots.txt and it shows up first now.
