RobbeekmansStill learning and well learning is stumbling, making mistakes. If I search for hashtags, nothing turns up. That feels because of the decentralized model but is it so? What if you want to search any word? (It’s just me, I like to snoop around)
MNTLe DMGD@Robbeekmans Searching hashtags will only search for those hashtags that your host (whichever server you're on - in your case mstdn.8sp.de) has seen. Given that your host only has 10 users, it's likely not to have seen much, so not a lot for it to index. I'd recommend sitting in the Federated Timeline, and looking for interesting posts and people there. Federation doesn't mean every server sees every post, everywhere else. Just that you have to look a little deeper. 👍
cyberooney@mntle @Robbeekmans Thank you for sharing this. How do you go about sitting in the federated timeline?
@TweetsMulrooney @Robbeekmans - Just click on the "Federated" menu item, and it will show you all the public posts incoming to your server. 👍
@mntle @Robbeekmans Thank you! Appreciate the tip, still getting used to how things work here.
@TweetsMulrooney @Robbeekmans you're welcome. Have fun, and reach out if you need it. 👍
