If you'd like your (public) posts to appear in search results on Mastodon, remember that you need to opt-in. Edit Profile → Privacy and Reach → Include public posts in search results. 14K people have opted-in so far!

@Gargron @HansZauner not sure why but I found this in Edit Profile -> Preferences -> Other but I didn't have any sort of "Privacy and Reach" section.

@MarkHanson @Gargron

It's not under "preferences", but a separate tab at the top on the "edit profile" page.

@MarkHanson @Gargron @HansZauner they may not have updated the instance yet

@MarkHanson I see some others in the thread here saying that it's unfortunately only appearing on the desktop view, which sounds like a bug.

@russjr08 others also noting server instance needs to update possibly.

@MarkHanson True! I meant to mention that here as well!

@MarkHanson That’s a different setting. You cannot find the one you’re actually looking for because the mastodon instance your account is based on isn’t updated to the version of mastodon that supports this feature in the first place. :)
