   Both exist on Mastodon and the directory is opt-in indeed. Running ElasticSearch on your instance can be pretty painful, but that's the nature of search indexes, I guess.

     We need a Fediverse-wide directory and search though.

     Opt-in to what? Which Twitter features make you more discoverable?

     @fribbledom Opt-in to search, or to a directory. On Twitter, when someone searches for my name, they find me. I completely understand this is because Twitter is centralized. Of course. But couldn't there be some search function for the Fediverse, please? With opt-in and immediate deletion upon request?

     @fribbledom Problem for me, coming from Twitter: "Where are my existing friends here on Mastodon?"

     My existing friends: "I'm on BlueSky."

     Me: "Got an invite?"

     Discoverability is an issue on Mastodon. I completely understand it was originally created by people who don't want to be discovered *by default*, but hey, could we at least opt-in for discovery, somehow?
