@feditips Yeah, Sepia Search is ... less than ideal ... to put it nicely.

@feditips @ozoned as with most things in life it's about moderation. In the sense of being a balance. Federation is about no one point of control. And yet you need one place to find stuff for the normies to be able to use it. I would think the solution is a search, with controls (safesearch etc), that will let everything be searched and found. But combined with, as you say, a curated discovery platform to aid in surfacing good quality federated content. Quite the problem to solve.
