@trwnh imo in Masto it could just fall back to a DM with a pat emojo

@trwnh boo
@trwnh yes, I was speaking in jest
@Nine with how many pokémon are on here, you should be able to throw pokéballs around
@Weirdaholic at the same time tagging and filtering features are still basically at the level of Twitter's "put keywords in your posts, otherwise people can't filter them lol"
@Claire no, that one actually seems to fix some things I didn't even know were broken, profile badges, for instance
@Weirdaholic 4.x axing static public pages, all the "trends" and discovery features, the upcoming search thing, in general all the shit to bait Twitter users
@Weirdaholic I mean a lot of things

PSA, mastodon dev, gargon wants to add public search
Apparently gargon wants to add indexing search to mastodon again; https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/26344
And he locked the thread after he saw it was going to be about search "again", and then just robotically said "your feedback is noted".
This change requires an instance to have added an ElasticSearch server to it, which is optional as of rn.
This change will index all public posts from any user which is "discoverable", even remote users (if the setting comes in the activitypub object, it defaults to false), this is the "suggest your account to others" setting, it's set to false by default.
@Eramdam@octodon.social @tess TIL that exists
@tess @Eramdam@octodon.social yeah absolutely
@Eramdam@octodon.social @tess I think the only reason I haven't completely given up on git is smarter friends who helped me unfuck my source tree a lot while I was learning it
