Mastodon *needs* search. I can't even find / search my own posts to find something again 😞

@hackbyte bookmarking every single post doesn't really help.
Any social medium needs search and algorithms beyond a certain size. Or the users are forced to implement these algorithms manually.
(Including search, like via downloading the archive.)
What we need is for these things to be under the 's control.
(To be fair, I could sit down and write myself a client which does that for me ... I'm just slightly lazy.)

"Or the users are forced to implement these algorithms manually."

That's right where we are .. and where we like to stray...


You're free to move along to the next best thing which provides you with all that stuff .... i would call it shit but i don't really want to..

so ..... We're the #fediverse ... if we can't serve you .... move along... there's nothing bad about that. ;)

Maybe it's where YOU'd like to stay, but the world is bigger than yourself, and other users would derive so much more value from other options, even if you personally don't like that.

Funnily, it's a position that comes across as Luddite even in this Internet context.
