Number one thing to understand is the search does not search post content. In order to find content f interest, and more importantly to have your content be found by interested parties, you must use hashtags. And put them in a block following your content so users of reader apps can hear coherent content not imbedded with hashtags.

Tip for the new folk:
Often Mastodon’s features work the way they do because it was first populated by people who had been harassed on FB and the Birdsite.
For instance (not sorry), you cannot search Masto for a simple term. Only #hashtags. Say you’re having a private conversation about iguanas. Anti-iguana trolls will not be able to search for “iguanas”, find your conversation, and drop into it to say, “Iguana luvers suck!”
But if you are wanting to connect with new iguana fanciers on Mastodon, slipping an #iguanas hashtag somewhere into your posts will allow people to search for and find them.
I think I’m beginning to understand a bit better how mastodon differs from my previous experiences with social media platforms, and what I need to do to get (and MAKE) the most out of it.
Closing out a post with a list of relevant hashtags seems critical to connecting with interested parties, far more so than TWTR. Listing them after instead of embedded inline greatly improves the experience of those that utilize reader apps.. btw.
