  1. What's bothering me about #mastodon is that it's apparently impossible to search for parts of a user's handle. Example (using a handle from the trending pages). I'd like to search for @ [email protected] but searching for "carve" will show me profiles of that exact name or containing it in their bios.

    Searching for "carveher" will show NO results for profiles. It will, however, show me hashtags where "carveher" is a part of.

    WHY DOESN'T IT WORK LIKE THAT FOR HANDLES?

  6. Shoutout to @sebinthestars for running astrodon.social so flawlessly, and in particular for the quick update to Mastodon 4.2.0! I’ve already updated my profile to be searcheabke, hope that does not increase too much the CPU usage for the server!

  10. I have to admit that I did not read the specifics about the then announced #mastosearch. Now that the #search feature is here, I am deeply disappointed, because of the fact that it's a local search feature. In fact, I think this could be even harmful for the development of a federated social network. The big instances will have one, and this could drive users to go there. #MatthewEffect, here we come.

    I want opt-in #federatedSearch, I want to be able to look beyond my bubble.

  15. How can you figure out of you instance has the option of making your posts searchable. I'd like mine to be, but I'm on this big generic instance and don't know what to do. #MastoSearch #MastoBrain

  20. Clicked the opt-in for the new #mastoSearch capability. It's apparently just coming online in revision 4.2 (in beta), so it might be a while for your instance if it updates slower than this big one under the gargronator.

  25. There's a solution to get beyond the invisible walls. Imperfect but here we go:

    Type this into the search box (without spaces)

    @ tag-$tagname @ relay.fedi.buzz

    E.g. using dnd as the tag name.
    @tag-dnd

    Works fine

    But it doesn't work for:
    @tag-a5e

    Like gup.pe groups this is a discovery tool. It grabs info from "out of network" I.e. servers that no one is following.

    #Mastodon #Feditips #Search #MastoSearch #fediSearch #FediHelp

    I'm not a technical person but hey maybe this helps!
