If you need help getting started on Mastodon, have a look at:
It's written in non-technical language, it's a beginner's guide.
If you can't find the answers you want on the site, @ me or message me.
NorthEastOne@feditips Suggestion:* Would be great to now add a Search on your site* so users can search/look up using keywords like ‘hashtags’, ‘server’ etc etc
Love the work you’re doing and want you to progress so taking the liberty to give suggestions/feedback 🙂

Earthworm 🐌In the search bar, you can search keywords with the hashtags. e.g. #Mastodon
Not having a search function with free text is a decision made by the devs. It is to avoid trolls being able to search the entire fediverse to find people to harrass (think e.g. the sentence "I am trans").
This decreases functionality a bit, therefore it is so important to add many hashtags under your toot so other people can find it.
@earthworm @NorthEastOne @feditips It also decreases the functionality of, for example, somebody who wants to find people who are trans to support them or to receive support. This is a huge decrease in functionality.
