The fragmentation among friends that follows Twitter’s collapse is exactly the kind of problem that Mastodon and the social web solves for. Imagine that you don’t have to pick and choose which new platform to adopt, or make and maintain a million accounts—because you can follow anyone regardless of which platform they’re on. That’s our reality.

You just have to find them. Currently, there is no directory service.

@DismalManorGang @Gargron my fiends don't move to Mastodon. Still on Twitter and they will be.

@DismalManorGang @Gargron Or any functional search (beyond some apparent beta mode only available on some servers)...

@djvanness the only reason it is currently only available on some instances is because those wanted to be the testing grounds for the full-text search feature *before* everyone adopts it in the upcoming Mastodon 4.2.0 update.

If you want, you can ask your instance admins whether they want to have a hand at testing, too.
