As near as I can tell, Mastodon doesn't really have #2 in the list above. Last I heard, the social architecture was hostile to comprehensive indexing of the entire fediverse for search.
That's probably one of the biggest reasons that I have remained on Twitter even after setting up a Mastodon persona.
- J_tt 4y agoMastodon searching is a lot more focused on hashtags rather than the contents of peoples posts. Consider it more "opt-in" discovery. The existing user base is strongly in favour of a more organic social graph from exploring tags for shared interests. Browsing tags is a very normal thing to do on the platform.
