I still think it should be possible to search on Mastodon for any post you've specifically loaded in the last 24 hours. I cannot conceive what the privacy downsides of that would be.
I am trying to find a post I was looking at not ten minutes ago by the infosec person with the Marvin the Martian avatar. I could solve this problem by asking "hey who's the guy with the Marvin the Martian avatar" but the last time I did this dozens of people responded by tagging him, flooding Jose mentions, which I absolutely did not and do not want, so I had to delete the posts, which also means I can't go back and check the replies

Semi-related, i can add personal notes to profiles on mastodon... Wonder if one can search those notes in any useful way...
