Anna E. CookI really am begging organizations to stop using Facebook or Twitter as the only way they distribute information.
Please don't make me make an account to see information
post-punked@annaecook I agree with your account message, but #Mastodon for whatever reasons (eg, data harvesting) doesn't offer historical searching. Last time I checked we get two days back.
I historical search on the other social networks daily.
Renaud Chaput@postpunky @annaecook I am not sure what you mean by that, but if you opted into being indexed in search, then all your posts are searchable, regardless of the date. Maybe your instance admin configured something to remove some non-local messages to save disk space?

This is the search time limitation I am referring to, if you have a fix:
@postpunky @annaecook This is hashtag search, I am not sure exactly how it works but its probably related to trends calculation, which works only in the past few days (as trends are by definition recent)
