A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sounds like an opportunity to develop a fediverse focused search engine
Does ActivityPub have search protocols? Seems like something worth having built in
@CosmicApe Many users feel wary about their posts being searchable.
That's definitely a fair point that I hadn't considered. I feel that posts not being searchable should be default for certain communities, but having easy search for things like tech support and product reviews like Reddit did would be a huge help with growing the platform.
@CosmicApe @curt @Hedup @techno156 @cosmic_skillet I just realized you are on kbin. I guess it makes sense for kbin and lemmy to have searchability function but Mastodon users won't be very open to it.
