Mastodon MigrationNov 15, 2022

TIP OF THE DAY

Mastodon is not broken.

It's different, and much better. Mastodon by design promotes engagement not asserting influence. It's a dinner party, not a food fight. Most of what you might at first think is deficient is intentional. Before you rush to conclusions, try it for a while. Take part in this new community. Make new friends. Be kind. This is what social media should be. You will be amazed.

@mastodonmigration searching for hashtag subjects on the mobile app, such as #photography returns no results, so that seems more broke than intended.

@ColTilley @mastodonmigration agree. Generally I love it, but search is proving very problematic.

@MsGolightly @ColTilley @mastodonmigration Search is only able to search posts and users that are either local to your server, or federated onto your server by virtue of being followed by you or someone else on your server. (Or boosted by someone external that is being followed). There is no global search. I think that is what is most jarring when coming from a centralised platform like Twitter

I know this is from a month ago, but just in case anyone else comes across this issue- I've searched using a hashtag and gotten 0 results, BUT if you click on a hashtag (even if you have to first just toot: " #photography ") and then click on it...instant results!
