@reiver - my biggest complaint with Friendica is in fact that the ui is cluttered and confusing, with some of the most used functions (posting photos, connecting with contacts) not placed plainly in view. Diaspora seems a little better in this, but also has some disadvantages too.

@TotalSonic @reiver you can also look at Smithereen

The usage of the word "tag" in the sense of keyword metadata [and the "tag" in "hashtag"], came from del.icio.us

. @dave asking other people who make Fediverse software, who are interested in improving 'discovery' on the Fediverse, to reach out to him (so can work together).

Someone from audience asking — couldn't the data between the search-providers be shared, to try to prevent centralization?

#FOSDEM #FOSDEM2025 #SocialWebFOSDEM #Fediverse #Fediscovery

@reiver I think you could, but you'd need to have data processing agreements in place for the sharing of that data.

Someone in the audience asked what I was also thinking — you could create a community specific search-provider server.

(Ex: just for science community, or toy photography community, etc.)
