Thanks to @buercher for building it.

It's opt-in, not opt-out. It respects Mastodon culture and doesn't index accounts that don't sign in.

That means the index might be small if we don't spread the word.

@petersuber @buercher Question: just saw the authorisation dialogue and it says read-only access to “everything”. Does that include followers-only and direct messages?

If so, is this a limitation in the granularity of the Mastodon API?

@aral @petersuber @Gargron We are trying to find out. The API doc of Mastodon mentions finer granularity, but the proposed subscopes produce errors.
@buercher @petersuber @Gargron Thanks, Matthias. Looking forward to seeing what you discover :)
