Has anyone made a general search option for Mastodon? That's much of the value in Twitter, ability to search for events anywhere on the service, but for some reason Mastodon actively refuses to implement it.
- rektide 4y agoThere's a bunch of people on Mastadon who swear search is the devil & will defederate & call you evil incarnate & curse your name if you so much as hint that you might be thinking about building search. I hope some day we can subvert them & make it happen & get on with life.
- TRiG_Ireland 4y agoPeople have made it, been shouted at, and turned it off. There is now one which searches only toots of people who have specifically opted in (which I've not yet got around to doing, but must).

- rchaud 4y agoI am using the Tusky Android client for Mastodon and can search by post, account or hash tag. Is there more to it?
