@caseynewton Most #journalists will not come to #Mastodon because #Mastodon lacks a robust #search function.

depending on what you're looking for, google already works. the #fediverse is not a separate platform, it shouldn't need a separate search engine. posts are already part of the public internet. isn't that the point?

@wjmaggos @caseynewton #Mastodon does have a #search engine: hashtags. If #Google search is the answer, why do we need #hashtags?

@scottspeaking Mastodon has a very good and fast search function: hashtags.
People must use them.
