@ricmac @blaine I happen to agree with this: “Many people would like to join a Mastodon instance that lets them open their posts up for indexing, so that we can search content on that instance — it’s good for topic tracking, monitoring news, etc.”

+1 and I think there is a lot of room for non-masto application categories that do interesting things with aggregation of activitypub-sourced content and indexes. It could allow you to eg create a river of news community that's basically links indexed from feeds based on topic etc.
