Reply to comment by DreamChaserSt in do we really believe aliens can decode the golden records by Calm-Confidence8429

I have not researched exactly how they input our location.

But I’m assuming with how long it would take for a civilization to get it and decode it (thousands to hundreds of thousands of years), that we likely wouldn’t be easily found due to the rate of expansion of the universe.

That kind of thing is only applicable for very distant galaxies. It's unlikely to affect us for most of the universe's future existence. There may come a time when the only stars visible are the ones in the Milky way, and that the rest of the universe would be unobservable, but if I'm remembering it right, that won't be until the universe is already down to it's last stars.
