Red ScottWhat's the consensus on search being restricted to usernames and hashtags? Is this something that's necessary to reduce harassment? Without a broader text search finding people with common interests is difficult and tedious
Jacob Farkas@red I feel like federation would be a better solution to finding common interests. Just follow the public timeline on a server for a specific topic. I don't want to deal with a mess of accounts for each topic though, so they need a solution there.
@Farktonix there's a lot to like about topic specific servers, Though it feels like a conceptual hard sell for non-techies
@red Yeah, it's a hard sell for anyone. Let's move this thread to mastodon.meta.
