So, I watched the whole thing and they mentioned castopod (podcasts) and owncast (live streaming). He also mentioned hashtags to find what you're looking for. Is there a search engine for across the fediverse? For example, that would be amazing to go there and find hashtags from pixelfed and castopod and owncast even if they don't communicate with each other. It's not about instance finding, but about topic finding. That search engine would be the bomb or does it already exist?

It doesn't exist, and some people get really mad whenever someone tries to make one.

I mean given the demographic of fedi, ignoring robots.txt or GDPR removal requests warrant negative reaction and many in the list fall in that classification.

And others dont fall into that classification, additionally it has been shown that the list's author does not bother to actually check what is true about "scraping" accusations and just includes whatever accusation gets raised
