@BeAware @polarity @hopland @zilog80 I think a huge part of this is funding. To move quickly you need someone to be able to dedicate a lot of time. To do that, they usually either need someone to pay them to do it or they need to think that there might be a payout down the line. As long as the fediverse doesn't have a monetization scheme, you can't move quickly on anything. An API for search where people could then monetize their own third-party search solution could be a good step.

Well, we're not entirely alone, though perhaps a minority. Looking through my own interactions, I would loop @BeAware, @zilog80 and @polarity into the conversation. Perhaps you know of others too?

@db0 @BeAware but is fediseer not also specifically about detecting instances to avoid, rather than content to see? So, kind of the opposite of a discovery feature? Sorry, I'm not trying to explain your own tool to you, I'm just reading the webpage :)
