An opt-in search engine for topics and people. If you're looking for a fresh new way to discover the Fediverse, this is the place.
Made by @dansup, an API is being developed so that different Fediverse server software such as Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Calckey can utilize it for social discovery and recommendations.
Step 1: Edit your profile. Enter the hashtags you want to be found under in the "about you" field under Miscellaneous. I know about this field at least that it's being parsed by fediverse.info. Don't forget #https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=fedi22.
Step 2: Wait a while until the changes have settled; I suggest 15 minutes at least.
Step 3: On fediverse.info, enter your full channel address, . Your Webfinger ID and your profile address won't work.
It's just a pity that Hubzilla users have to put hashtags where they don't belong on Hubzilla. I mean, Hubzilla has a dedicated field for tags for its own channel discovery. But these tags aren't entered as #https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=hashtags, only as keywords. Either fediverse.info doesn't know about this field, or it fails to accept the tags as hashtags because there's no #https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=.
@atomicpoet@dansup@fediversenews Promising, signed up. Would love to see more than three accounts per page and if there is a way to gauge most active accounts
@atomicpoet@dansup@fediversenews found some good accounts to follow there! just scrolled down to avoid the animation 🙂
There is also still room to smarten in, like "human rights" has no hits but humanrights does. Nice progress!!
@atomicpoet@dansup@fediversenews super glad to see this - i hope they remove the animation ongoing on the front page tho - i want to use it but i can't handle animated pages. Aside from that nit love the concept and would love to see other algo options as well like "search among people my friends follow" etc
