Silver ArrowsOmgggg I've been wondering if there's a way to search through my own posts and I just saw a tip today on how to do it.
Just type from:@[your full user id] and then your search term.
Holy carp.
David O'BrienOr try from:me as a shorter alternative.

Fun fact: "me" is a valid username, so that makes the posts by people with that username effectively unsearchable.
Also, you might like https://pachli.app, as it makes it much easier to use the different search operators (https://pachli.app/pachli/2024/07/29/2.7.0-release.html#search-operators).
staringatclouds@nikclayton @iamdavidobrien @SilverArrows @fishidwardrobe @Khrys @blogdiva @kevin wouldn't "from:@Me" find posts by a user called "me" ?
@staringatclouds @iamdavidobrien @SilverArrows @fishidwardrobe @Khrys @blogdiva @kevin @Me You'd think, but no - https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/31078
`from:...` search filter appears to return incorrect / incomplete results · Issue #31078 · mastodon/mastodon

@nikclayton @iamdavidobrien @SilverArrows @fishidwardrobe @Khrys @blogdiva @kevin I just tried it & got no results, but @Me hasn't posted so I'm not sure it's an error
--EDIT--
Ah I'm searching "from:@Me" I didn't know you could drop the @ from the username on searches
Yeah, from:me is the operand for the current user (you).
No @ required (pun intentional).
From:@me will try to find some user, somewhere in your or your server's history.
