#HolosDiscover was built to solve a concrete problem: when you join #HolosSocial, your mobile server is empty. No posts, no accounts to find. The API provides search and trending content as a fallback for servers with no indexation yet.
We built a web UI at https://discover.holos.social using the same data, so anyone can see what's indexed without being a developer. Any Fediverse app or instance can also access it through the API.

#HolosDiscover is back, from a clean slate.
A #Fediverse search engine that uses standard #ActivityPub federation. It follows you like any account, respects indexable flags, #nobot, #noindex, locked accounts. Deletions, edits, blocks are processed instantly through ActivityPub.
You have full control. Block it, mention it with "unfollow", or disable indexing in your settings.
Source code under AGPL-3.0 on #Codeberg.

@HolosSocial I probably missed it, but how about relay support?

@surfhosting
We started with direct ActivityPub follows because it gives us a clear consent chain at the user level.
Relay support isn't excluded, but our current organic discovery through the network (boosts, mentions, replies) works well and stays consistent with our approach. Either way, content from relays would be heavily filtered to respect user consent before any indexing.

@HolosSocial @surfhosting is there anyway to build this discovery into the app directly, even if it's simply wrapped?

@lps
Yes, that's actually the primary goal. Holos Discover was built to feed content into the Holos app directly. The web UI is just a bonus for transparency.
