It's a long story, but basically search on Mastodon is broken on purpose. Moderation is time consuming and extremely difficult with varying laws around the world, allowing proper search would make that even more obvious.
- davidgerard 3y agoThere's a popular patch set for Mastodon* which allows searching your local federated post cache, and non-Mastodon Fediverse software has long had this obvious and sensible feature. Gargron is now mumbling about enhancing the official Mastodon's local search. * https://universeodon.com/@vyr/110147855442446535 https://universeodon.com/@vyr/110147855442446535
