154k people have opted-in to search. That's fewer than the 878k that have opted in to being featured in discovery algorithms, but I think it's not as few as some people might think.
Not having enough search results for a specific query is not the same thing as there not being a search function, which exists since 2023.
Which functionality is lacking? Can you give an example of a search query and how the results differed from your expectations?
Probably not a film I'm going to use ever again, but for this shot it sort of worked.

Check my profile! On the sidebar you'll see #filmphotography. Click that, and it's all my photo posts. You set this up from your profile settings.
One more thing. I am not a lawyer, but in my understanding the "default" license for any works you publish on the web is not "public domain", it is "no license". Content published on the fediverse cannot be used for anything, legally, except the intended function of the service. It is only if you want to to give more rights that you'd need "content licensing support". In that sense I also don't see this as a show stopper for federation today.
It's worth noting that Glaze is neither a guarantee that something won't be ingested into an LLM, nor is it something that comes at absolutely no cost; depending on setting it creates visible artifacts similar to JPEG compression that I have seen artists complain about. I don't think Glaze is relevant to the federation discussion however.
I remember we already talked about this yesterday. I think discussions about LLM training should be happening at the legal level, not technical, unless you want DRM. Personally, I do not want to advocate for DRM. I do not believe that robots.txt is an adequate defense against LLM training, and that the onus of keeping up with all LLM user agents should not be on website authors.
I read that yesterday. From my reading of the Cara page, it is not making any promises about protecting art from ingestion into LLM datasets besides offering access to the Glaze tool. It's simply a place where generative AI slop is not allowed to be uploaded. In that sense I see no show stoppers for federation today. Artists want to be seen, makes no sense to self-isolate.
RSS is not the same. I want them to know that I follow them, and to see my replies, and when I boost their art to my followers.
I should be able to follow #Cara users from my Mastodon account. You can't convince me to make yet another account in a yet another silo, but I'd love to see and share more art in my home feed. Anyone have a connection to their team? Would love to chat about the #fediverse.
And yet more from the Big Basin Redwoods State Park.

I’ve got a new camera! Pentax KX. Unlike the Canon Ae-1 Program, it’s fully mechanical. Everything seems to be in working order, except the focusing ring being misaligned and rotating past infinity.
