All my LND node’s channels have been closed 4 months ago.

I am now in the process of creating a new one with Core Lightning. Is it possible to reuse the same identity? If so, how?

You can use the same alias, but you'll need to generate a new pubkey for the CLN node.

What happens on your website when an alias is being recycled with a completely new node? Assuming the previous one never comes back on the network, of course…

Could this bring confusion in search results?

It can be a bit confusing at times, but it's usually obvious when looking at the capacity and number of channel of the node in the search results.

"Satbase" for example has been used as an alias in the past on a now-defunct node and it is also in use by an active node.
