. @julian 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.)

@[email protected] that would be me!
I was poking fun a bit at @[email protected] because Fediscovery is an ambitious solution to one of the fediverse's "hard problems". Why not feature creep some more while I'm there? hah!
The full gist of the question was... "the broad use-case of fediscovery would be to try to achieve some sort of global search, where anything can be found, but could there be a use-case where someone could use the Fediscovery FASP to build a domain-specific search provider, e.g. science-based, meme-based, etc.?"
I'll be speaking more about those "hard problems" tonight at the Social Web After-Hours event at HSBXL. Will you be there? I'd love to say hello!

@[email protected] @reiver @dave Tbh the use case strikes me as obvious. Why would a group like the Website League not run an exclusive search server for themselves if given the option? I believe the current spec and its paradigm of individual servers opting into whatever search providers they want allows this just fine, albeit implicitly. It's why I pushed back against that one dude who was like "why not mandate that search providers must share and synchronize their data." (Well, among other reasons.)

@[email protected] @reiver @dave Oh, and have fun at FOSDEM everyone! Might see you at FediForum with a demo of my current thingy if progress goes well.
