Hey y'all 👋 In case you missed this in the past ~24hrs or so. cc @jlj @laz @quark 😎

(#qdr2tya) @prologic I just enabled it a short time ago! Pod looks a lot more lively for someone arriving and not logged in. Good job! I think Pleorma does something like this, and allows you to switch between users on the pod instance only and the wider network.

(#qdr2tya) @laz > switch between users on the pod instance only and the wider network I'm not sure what to do here just yet... The Yarns search engine is still in development and _before_ I do that I _probably_ want to add a "builtin" search to pods too, independent of a "global" crawler and search engine.

(#qdr2tya) @prologic I mean you have basically done it already. Just the pod admin chooses to enable or not with `discover_all_posts` instead of a public toggle button.

(#qdr2tya) @laz Oh it's actually already togglable via the Web Interface under Settings -> Pod Management -> Manage Pod. You can enable these "experimental / options" features there too. So far there's just one, and thee idea is to eventually either graduate the features into first-class configurable configuration items or bake them in as permanent features.

(#qdr2tya) @laz i.e: You _can_ already change this live without restarting 👌

(#qdr2tya) @prologic Yes, this is what I've done. I'm just highlighting that other sites are allowing *anyone* to toggle this and flip between 'public network' and 'known network'. Then again, some owners might prefer not to use this e.g. a single-user pod as a personal microblog.

(#qdr2tya) @laz Oh 🤦‍♂️ I see what you're saying... As user-togglable UX Hmm 🤔 Yeah like I said I don't really know how to do this just yet, the "network" needs to grow a fair bit larger before I fully under the repercussions of of "I wonder what's going on everywhere else". OTOH _this_ can actually be done already somewhat with a simple query to Yarns like this: ``` $ curl -qso - -H 'Accept: application/json' "https://search.twtxt.net/search?q=$(echo -n "+text:*" | urlenc enc)&s=-created" | jq '.' ``` So _in theory_ this _could_ be integrated into pods...
