Is searching keywords in the mastodon app not possible?
@RebeccaSlatkin It’s something that was done on purpose to keep people from just searching words and then piling on.
@RebeccaSlatkin we don’t talk about search out loud here. Mastodon is a very friendly place until you question that decision.

This place is extremely dev focused, and as a musician I can't rely on it for anything other than tech news, with a side of journo.
As yet the tapestry of other communities has yet to form.
@RebeccaSlatkin @f @harshil at the moment you can only search keywords of posts you've faved. There are a bunch of people (including me) who really want a more general search, and I bet there'll be _something_ that works (maybe even an ad-supported external service like Google) for the majority of Mastodon servers within a year.
I still occasionally use logged-out Twitter for the real-time search (eg "is X down") and I long for something similar on Mastodon.
@f @RebeccaSlatkin You are welcome, my brother! Also if there are Twitter accounts you can't live without, you can follow them by searching for @[twitterhandle]@bird.makeup and following. @vincent is a hero for making this, and for even more extra FU points, it is not dependent upon any of Twitter's APIs.
@RebeccaSlatkin you can only search for words containing non-breaking spaces.
