How search engines treat IPV6 only websites? (lemmy.fbmac.net)

I wonder how bad search engines would penalize an IPV6 only site, is there any information on it?

I don't think they care? Google doesn't seem to. Search loops of zen and one of the top results is loopsofzen.uk which is IPv6 only. They honestly shouldn't factor IP stack in at all. They shouldn't even notice it. If their crawler has IPv6 it will crawl ipv6 only sites. If their crawler doesn't then it won't. Whether the user can visit the site or not is their problem
