reply with features and bug fixes you’d like to see in Philthy, the lemmy fork that runs on this instance. no guarantees I’ll get to any of them soon, but particularly low-hanging fruit and well-liked features can be prioritized.

    search desperately needs to be reworked. maybe it should even be an external service that just indexes off of the lemmy database and uses the API to pull in federated results when they’re not cached locally?

    fuck, why do I keep wanting to spin up a search engine

      does anyone have strong positive or negative feelings about SearXNG? I haven’t looked into its API, but a local Lemmy and federation plugin for it might be a cool way to get better search

          i can’t even find the code, so … my psychic powers tell me it’s the most basic thing like probably the DB’s inbuilt text search

            is it this (which appears to be the repo for the treehouse.systems operations), or is there a mastodon search feature/entity also called treehouse (and thus is not this)?

                I keep wanting to sit down and find the time to go through the impls and see which I want to run (because I want to move my main off masto.social), and … ugh. I hope not everything is this kind of thing

                  there is something seriously wrong with fediverse software devs, I said, developing fediverse software

                    the go-to small Mastodon-compatible software is Akkoma which is written in fucking erlang

              yeah that’s Treehouse. it’s a mastodon fork that doesn’t bother trying to upstream any more because Eugen is that kind of lead dev
