That basically defeats the whole purpose of the platform
One time I saw a fire truck drive by and I searched twitter for “fire” and the city name. That’s the day I fell in love with Twitter. I only use it for searching for people talking about stuff.
If search doesn’t work, I have no use for it.
Jerboa. Its awful but there’s nothing better
But if its Activity Pub then why doesn’t it open in my app? I have to click it and open in an external web browser
why prefix the hash tag with Hello? Isn’t #QuitMeta better?
wtf is a connector?
Like if I install a connector for Bluesky, then does that allow me to just subscribe and see bluesky content in my friendica feed? Or does it allow me to post onto friendica posts found on bluesky? Or does it allow me to post onto bluesky my posts on friendica?
The docs don’t make this clear what its for.
Thanks for this.
I just signed up for friendica. I found it was slow as hell and I couldn’t find content. I posted a question in one of the most popular groups, and I got no response.
Also, their “forums” aren’t really forums. They’re just a wall.
Lol apparently you can’t
Fortunately YouTube isn’t doing this for PeerTube (yet)
Libre software isn’t a public benefit under German law?!?
O rly?
Search for a URL to a popular news article. It will not return all the toots that include that URL.
Why wouldn’t there be algorithms for the feed sort? Or did Eugene block that request too?
There’s a ton on people who want it. Its not just a few.
And if that’s the case, implement it and let instance admins or users themselves be able to turn it off.
But don’t pull a reddit and just ignore users.
Are you familiar with what happened to reddit when they stopped listening to their users?
Indexes are small
Didn’t Eugene say “no” to searches too?
Doesn’t matter what the devs want. The users requested it, the devs should implement it. Instead Eugene just said “no”
There’s absolutely no technical restriction for indexing URLs and sharing which instances ’ toots have that URL
Yeah, that sucks. Bearish in mastodon becoming usable.
No, I’m not saying he depriortized it. The problem is he won’t implement it.
By search I mean I should be able to search for a keyword or URL on all instances. There is no support for this. And, again, the issue is not technical. Its Eugene blocking it because he personally does not want the feature
Lol since forever? It doesn’t verify the authenticity of anything it downloads, so its vulnerable to supply chain attacks.
Pip and crates has the same problem.
Maven is the only programing language package manager I know of that does. Otherwise, OS package managers like apt are secure, od course.
