Chris OffnerAlso: Is there a way to *search* the Federated timeline?
Jan@chrisoffner3d only for hashtags, I think. Oh and you can also *filter* your timeline.
@jan Forgive my ignorance/blindness: How can I search for hashtags across instances?
@chrisoffner3d in the left column, there's a search field.
@jan Sure but that only seems to show me results from this local instance.
@chrisoffner3d it does show stuff from other instances too, just confirmed it.
@jan Not for me I'm afraid. Can you try searching for #b3d? Let me know if you find @monsterjavaguns's post https://mastodon.cloud/@monsterjavaguns/1035682
I only find a single result of #b3d - my own post using it here on toot.berlin
@chrisoffner3d @monsterjavaguns that is correct, I can only find your toot. But that is working as intended/expected. The reason is the same as with history from newly followed accounts as @pinkprius explained in https://chaos.social/users/pinkprius/updates/1864. Search will show results from other instances, but it will only include those toots that the instance being searched has "seen" afaik.
