By default. You can turn on indexing for your account if you want to.
- azangru 2y agoDoes this mean indexing within the database that drives this Mastodon instance, or indexing by web crawlers such as googlebot?
- Springtime 2y agoMy understanding when I looked into this a couple years ago is the optional wider scope search is only possible to enable for one's own posts/account and while logged in[1], but still limited. At a server level the only search possible (using the regular Mastodon) is for user-added tags on posts rather than full text and this was an intentional decision[2]. I'm not familiar with indexability outside Mastodon instances, though can't really recall coming across them naturally in search.
