I also like the Follow approach best.

Follow the HolosIndex bot gives explicit consent "please index my public posts". HashPub by @evan follows a similar method, and also https://anagora.org by @flancian works on that basis. Give a nice acknowledgement after the follow request, and perhaps an unfollow removes you from the index again.

I find this a better mechanism than the magic hashtags in profile approach, where there's already tight charlimit in many apps for the intro. You also have (or had) this with https://fediverse.info when adding #fedi22 to ones profile.

Sometimes you can't wait, and just need to build it.

- https://fedidb.org - started off as an internal pixelfed debug service, but the stats pages were more used, so I spun out the debug to https://pubkit.net

- https://fediverse.info - needed a way to collect profiles for Pixelfed discovery via the #fedi22 hashtag

- https://respectfulplatforms.org - the fediverse lacked a charter of rights and principles

- https://webintents.net - easier sharing/following and onboarding

So build 🚀

Ever wonder why you see the #fedi22 hashtag in bios?

Yeah, that's my fault.

I built a People Directory in 2022 for the #fediverse that used that hashtag for verification.

I'll improve it and make it way better, perhaps with Starter Pack support 😉

The People Directory is now way easier to browse!

I have big plans for this, and I'll make it easier to add/remove yourself without having #fedi22 in your bio.
