For every complex problem in the field of decentralized network engineering, there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong:
@silverpill care to elaborate?
What is wrong with those things existing as auxiliary services?
None of those things need an external provider.
There is also an EEE aspect of it, because they use custom API instead of ActivityPub.
@dmitri@social.coop@silverpill @mariusor what about cross-instance (opt in) Search? That kind of does need to be an external service, no?
@dmitri @silverpill personally I'm of the opinion that whatever people publish as a public ActivityPub activity/object is fair game for doing public things with it, including search or dissemination in other formats: RSS, calendars, bridging to other networks, etc.
@silverpill isn't that pretty redundant? On multiple levels even... one: collections should be accessible through HTTP, two: if a server is interested in content from another server AP already has ways of modelling that in the vocabulary.
@silverpill @mariusor wait, but that relay you're describing - that's an auxiliary service
@dmitri the way I understood what
@silverpill is saying is that if those are part of the same server ... they're not "auxiliary".
