I didn't know about Forum channels, thanks for the heads-up. Are they crawled by search engines, though? I feel like with people deleting their reddit posts and moving to discord, it's already becoming a lot harder to find information online.

They cannot be crawled by search engines, unfortunately. Information online is going scarse.

Considering you don't find Discord server logs on Google I'd say: No.

Discord is its own thing.

Google results have been down the drain for years, the only reasonable results I found were by appending reddit or site:reddit.com. Now even that is gone :-/

Duckduckgo and Brave Search often shows Reddit results for me even without site:reddit.com. Though now because of how Lemmy works with all of these instances, we can't easily use site: anymore. Hoping that search crawlers will be able to just index Lemmy/Kbin instances fine to pull the results in search engines in the future.
