EhtearitWhen I search for people I know are on here, I can't find them. What am I doing wrong? Is it a server thing?
Syl@aaren_terrett It could be! You need both their username and the instance they're on to find people
@sylphrin thanks for replying. So if I just do a search under all that's not enough? Some people show up but not the ones I'm looking for.
@aaren_terrett Yeah! You need to search for both the name and the domain in the box if you want to add someone from another instance.
E.g. If a friend from another server wanted to add me, they need to search for either "@*sylphrin@*mindly.social" without the * or "https://mindly.social/@sylphrin"
@sylphrin thank you!
@aaren_terrett no problem! Hope it helps
Jen Mc 🏳️🌈🇦🇺@aaren_terrett you might need to put their whole address (including the server name) into the search box. I had to do that at first. I also found it much easier once I starting using an app rather than the web version. I can recommend Metatext if you’re on iOS.
@JenMc thanks, I'm not I'm an Andriod guy. I did download Tusky which is a lot better than the native app but I'm still struggling to find people. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.
@aaren_terrett I did boost your post in the hope that someone else will have other suggestions.
@JenMc thank you! Still getting used to these toots too ;)
