The idea

It would be nice if the indexable flag in AP is set to true if discoverable is also set to true. I don't know the "culture" of Akkoma instances to know if this should be a separate setting.

The reasoning

As is most probably known, Mastodon recently added support for full text search through a new indexable flag which is separate to the discoverable flag. Source

While all posts in Akkoma that are discoverable are indexed for search, posts from Akkoma do not show up in search in Mastodon and any other software that adopts its standard, which unfortunately is a large chunk of the Fediverse.

I don't really agree with how Mastodon does this, but I believe people who want their posts to be public and searchable to work in other places as intended.

There is a spec / discussion to add indexable to AP as well, which you can find below:

Thanks in advance, I have been enjoying my own Akkoma instance. :)

It's useful to have it separate if you have an old or alternate account that you don't want to recommend for following, but has useful information you still want to be searchable.
