Has Kagi ever said what this is? I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is just kagi.com pages or a download of Wikipedia.

    Criteria for posts to show on the website

    If the blog is included in small web feed list (which means it has content in English, it is informational/educational by nature and it is not trying to sell anything) we check for these two things to show it on the site:

    - Blog has recent posts (<7 days old)

    - The website can appear in an iframe

    ——

    Emphasis mine. Restricting visibility to blogs that post at least every week doesn’t feel very ‘small web’ to me.

I believe it was formerly run under the name Teclis[1]. Reportedly they took it down for a while but now it's apparently back up. Has quite an extensive writeup on how it operates on the page.
