Did you know you can easily search through your own Mastodon posts?

Just include from:me in the search field.

Instead of this, you can include in:library to show posts you have interacted with or written yourself.

If you want to search through posts of a specific user, include from:username (the full username, including the instance)

If it doesn't work, have a look at this:

A follow-up post regarding the Mastodon search tips: If the search options don't work, the reason might be that your Mastodon instance maintainer hasn't implemented Elasticsearch. Also important: do not use capitals anywhere in the search conditions. E.g.: "From:me" doesn't work.

Can you also do a search for a post that was in an interaction between you and a specific person?

@pascaline Good question. Maybe you can find your answer in this article?

Not in this post but thanks!
I tried adding both from:me and from:@user@server but this doesn't give me anything even though I know it's something I could find 🤔 No results besides a 'Error 500' once (so special, right? 😀)
