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?

If a site is ipv6 only then its DNS will only have AAAA records. When an ipv4 client tries to visit the site it will request an A record, which won’t exist. So the browser will just show an error that the site can’t be found.
