Bring back certain privacy settings in the admin UI #1211

Closed dariusk closed 1 year ago

dariusk commented 1 year ago

Apparently in v4 the Admin UI settings to choose whether to publish server statistics and publish the list of discovered servers was removed and made true by default, requiring admins to change the settings in a config file: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19407

This is not only a pain in the ass, but is not available to admins using managed hosting.

I will see about reinstating these in the admin UI.

Looks like the default setting for admins to set noindex to true or false for new users is also gone. Gotta bring that one back too.

Oh nice, someone already put back noindex: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/22205 -- I'm cherry-picking that commit.

I also just filed this PR to Mastodon to bring back the option to suppress the discovered servers list: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/22810

Hopefully both of these changes will be in a future Mastodon release, but regardless they will be in the next Hometown release.
