@Luca I thought we already had that? No?
Is it only instance-awareness searching right now

@ProgGrrl @Luca Was wondering the same thing.

Maybe because the current hastag search is subject to federation. So you could see lots of them but you will never see all.

@lakoja @ProgGrrl Correct. Hashtag search on instances only shows you posts that are known to the instance (because of follow, boost or URL search).

When you are on a smaller instance, you won't find many posts. Because of that I build #mastovue years ago. I use it regularly to search for posts known to mastodon.social

@lakoja @Luca Nice… well this place is complicated but I consider it the play pool for you tech folks looking to solve the De-centralized Social ‘Verse Problem, in all that complexity… While we not-very-tech-savvy Other Folks watch and learn…
