How do I get #Tootfinder to work on my toots? I would really like to be searchable. #MastoBrain

@gunchleoc Thank you. It seems to work now.

@gunchleoc Leaves me with the question of how to actually do the free search.

@SuneAuken You have to search on the tootfinder site itself.

@gunchleoc I tried that. I get nothing in return.

@SuneAuken It will need somme time to index your toots. It might also not index anything you posted before you signed up - I don't remember how this works.

@gunchleoc

Ah yes. It's probably just me who is searching for too obscure terms. I'll figure it out.

@SuneAuken Also, it's probably not that widely known any more since Mastodon now has a native search. I removed myself after the new search function went live on my server.

On the other hand, it will be able to find posts from people that your server doesn't know about.
