Mark Posen 🌱 💚 Ⓥ 🇪🇺 🇺🇦Could someone explain how search works on #Mastodon, please? I have accounts on two different instances, and I get different search results, for the same search terms, on each. #MastodonHelp

@posen if I understood correctly, the search only gets results from the indexed content on the current instance, ie the content that has been synchronized because some user in the instance subscribed to it. That's why you get different results between instances
@fretman92 Ah OK, thanks. I'm slowly getting to understand how this works! This leaves me wondering how I ever find new people to follow if nobody on my instance currently follows them? I guess I'll get there eventually. 😄
@posen I usually find people directly from Twitter 😅
