Eugen RochkoIf text search is ever implemented, it should be limited to your home timeline/mentions only. Lack of full-text search on general content is intentional, due to negative social dynamics of it in other networks
I can't stop google from indexing public pages but there's a difference between "possible" and "convenient". There's already hashtags for when you *want* to be discovered via some keyword.
Matt Cropp π²π²@Gargron though getting people aware of the importance of using hashtags is a cultural shift, as people are used to full-text search... https://social.coop/media/ylUSqt-ktVlOJHhpuiU

@Gargron Hashtags are so 2007 and people don't expect the search to work only on hashtags :/
Florian@Gargron especially since I seem to vaguely remember from previous jobs that Google has a habit of ignoring robots.txt telling it to go away
ππΈπ»πΆπͺπ·π½ π»π»πͺ π‘ π°οΈ@Gargron it would be nice if it would be possible to 'follow' hashtags so they'd appear in your 'Home'. a bit like diaspora did. great way to discover content without having to manually search it out.
Trolli Schmittlauch π¦₯@Gargron Hashtags not working accross instances is not intentional but "not yet implemented" though, isn't it?
lertsenem@Gargron I get what you mean, and I do not disagree. But whatever you choose to do, if it's "possible" we are only one-person-coding-a-script away from "convenient".
SEALIRL@Gargron what's wrong with robots.txt?

TL;DR: Robots.txt may work for google but people are free to interpret their purpose as they see fit.

cigazze@Gargron giving users the option to have a robots.txt apply to their page should be possible i'd think
