fediverse news and speed of timelines

I keep exploring Fediverse and related software projects. While I want Kyselo to be interoperable I discovered that this is impossible without big refactoring of our database followed by data migration to new scheme. I don't want to do this.
So I decided that Kyselo will not federate in it's current form. However I am still interested in Fediverse and I want to create Kyselo-like Mastodon client. But this is question for the future me.
For now I added small experimental feature - I am measuring of how fast our timelines are. Unit of this measurement is number of posts per hour, day or month (whatever makes sense). So please keep those in healthy ranges.

hide yourself from robots

I have noticed that there was no robots.txt file on Kyselo. So I added one.
While I was doing it I added possibility to hide your profile from web scraping robots (and activated this for my cat). It can be enabled on your blog settings (new checkbox exclude from search engines).
Note that posts are still public and robots can index whatever is reposted. Also everyone page is not yet hidden from robots (this may change in the future).
While I was doing it I added filtering by post types to the your /yourblog/tags page.
I also added export for twtxt - it's now automatically enabled for anyone at /yourblogblog/twtxt page. It exports only text posts.

As I want to migrate from bitbucket, I updated our github source code mirror.
More features coming soon.

hear the less talkative

I added new mode of everyone page which shows last posts by each user. I also added the possibility to sort users by last activity and number of posts. There is also new unfiltered view which shows all posts which get posted on kyselo including reposts.

Last new thing is cron job sending you once a week e-mail when you got unread new message or more than five notifications.

More new features coming soon™.
