@janl @molily Yes 100% The fact that Mastodon did get neither quote posts nor search not to speak of anything innovative done since the Twitter acquisition is really something. There is of course also the fact that money is missing. @MastodonEngineering just needs money to hire a few people to get more than the absolute basics done.

@mrtoto they shipped search tho :)

@janl Well, yes. Functionally it's there. But e.g. why am I not asked as part of the onboarding process if I want to opt in for example.I mean is there even an onboarding?
Also there needs to be some kind of broker to search across the fediverse, not only instance local.
The only place I see these things being done is @dansup (who never seems to sleep!) with @loops. That looks like steps in the right direction which gives me a bit of hope :)

@mrtoto (I know I know :) — Also QPs are coming and they will include controls about who can QP, which is very nice.

@janl True. There is also more progress I know Wordpress (if that's still a thing), Flipboard, Ghost are all embracing AP. Threads is also moving forward as is https://www.fediscovery.org so things are moving, albeit slowly.

@janl Have they I thought that was only Tumblr and @pfefferle was working on this for WP.

@mrtoto @janl why do you think WP has stopped? and has stopped with what?

@pfefferle @janl ActivityPub integration development

@mrtoto @janl we have not stopped at all and the project is more active than ever!

@mrtoto @janl and even tumblr might follow, now that there is a migration of the Backend to WordPress.

@pfefferle @janl that’s great to hear
