Mastodon launches a new project that will "[explore] decentralized search and discovery for the Fediverse".

And it's all very privacy-conscious, which is nice!

Yes, I should also say that I'd rather see the money for this go towards improving safety on Mastodon servers, but I don't really have any insights into the team's finances, so can't criticize too much.

Also worth mentioning that quote boosts, which have also recently received funding, will include work on privacy and safety features around them, possibly extending to other areas of the online experience.

Can't wait for more updates around this!

@[email protected] There was a number I posted on here once that I needed again. I had forgotten it, but also had it saved a few other places.
There was no way to find it here so I had to look through every text message I ever sent during the time instead ๐Ÿ˜Œ

@B_[email protected] Yeah, until I enabled ElasticSearch on my server recently, I had to rely on Google to find posts I've seen that I have not necessarily interacted with.

So having a reliable search is definitely very useful.

@[email protected] How can I make relay.fedi.buzz into a "provider"?

@[email protected] Ah, I haven't read the spec yet, I'd suggest to follow up in the official announcement thread. Sorry I can't be of more help!

@[email protected] That could have been a quote toot - do you have a link for us?

there's no spec on fediscovery.org

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

@[email protected] Right. Like I said, best to follow up with any questions in the announcement thread. I'm not really involved with Mastodon or this project myself.
