Under `Settings > Public Profile > Privacy and reach` there are a few opt-in settings that determine whether your account is discoverable (first option under "Reach") and whether your posts show up in search results (first option under "Search").

Mastodon search is pretty weak most of the time, and I'm wondering if that's because most people have search indexing.

Do you have yours turned on?

Please #boost for reach!

Gisteren heb ik de stream zitten kijken over de discovery service voor fediverse accounts waar het mastodon project aan werkt.

Zodra er echt een release is, wil ik kijken of we dit specifiek voor het Nederlandstalig deel van de fediverse kunnen inrichten.

Een betere vindbaarheid van elkaar is echt nodig om de fediverse voor meer mensen toegankelijk te maken.

So, six people answered my poll about interest in starter packs. That's both good and bad, as I was afraid there was like a HUGE GINORMOUS interest in it, but also I was under the impression it's like the NEXT BIG THING for Mastodon.

Ah well, if anyone's interested, here's a PoC if you're into that:

I have spent the last two days creating a proof-of-concept of Mastodon Starter Packs. You can create Lists IN MASTODON and then share those publicly. Others can then follow ALL the accounts on the list with a single click.
Works with all Mastodon instances, as it uses the Mastodon API.

It's very rough around the edges, but hey, it DOES work.

It can also be self-hosted.

I want to gauge interest in this before I invest more work in this.

…​ else normal search was nearly worthless …​

pkg search --regex markdown | grep …​

It would be really funny if the above package would turn out to be only a library|module, lacking a command to run on the command line in the terminal🤣
^UPDATE: It was just as funny as mentioned🤷‍♂️

:sigh: Goes to show you package name, comment, & sometimes description too, matter when searching for suitable packages. #discoverability
