@RebeccaSlatkin A matter of perspective and usage, I think 🙂 I’ve not needed to use search once since switching to Mastodon, but then there are certainly people who depend on search a lot.

My understanding is, as @harshil said, historically people on Mastodon are opposed to text search because it can be used to harass and intimidate people. So hashtags usage is encouraged so that things can be found. But that doesn’t always work well since not everybody uses hashtags.

The other suggestion is to favourite/bookmark since you can do full text search on items you’ve favourited/bookmarked (at least on some flavours of Fedi servers). But again, not ideal since you might want to search for things that you haven’t seen.

But then again, I can also see the point of people who don’t want to be searched/found. This is probably going to get worse as more people move over to Mastodon both in terms of asking for full text search and in terms of the possibility of using search offensively increasing …

My walk along the sewage runoff “creek” had surprisingly good birds today. This guy hangs out there frequently so is quite used to walkers and is unbothered by lookyloos!

Hello all! #introduction
I'm a (soon to start)PhD student at the Leibniz Institute for Analytical Sciences - ISAS. I am passionate about applying #deeplearning 🤖 methods to #biology 🐞 , especially #bioimageanalysis. I mostly work in #python , though I'm trying to learn #julia.

I like sunshine 🌞 , nature ⛰️ , and adventures! Also, I'm a coffee addict, and it always never fails to lift my mood 😁

I'm looking forward to following people doing amazing #science 🔬 here at #qoto, and being part of this wholesome #community!

Who am I, and why am I here? #introduction

I am a machine learning researcher, using tools from #Bayes, #stats, #optimization, #informationgeometry, #deeplearning, signal processing, etc.

I care deeply about people, their well-being, inclusion, diversity, equity, privacy, and justice.

I believe in slow and rigorous scientific process, to add value to existing knowledge, and improve positive impact on society.

I am here to learn about all of these.

A new post-doc/research scientist position is available in our group! Please help me spread the word.

Pensando muito nisso aqui 🤯

I bet sometimes lice go in wigs without realizing it's a wig and when they find out they feel so dumb.

I can't wait for the big game.

@harshad Love changes that take place during sunrises and sunsets. You are absolutely right about the urgency of time. Some of my sunsets have been so fleeting, like 30 seconds in which a minute delay means a complete bust on getting the most amazing picture.

Summer where I live, the sun takes 4 minutes from this stage of sunset in attached picture until the whole sun disappears. Winter, it takes 60 seconds.

@karenyin I use post in all the Fediverse apps I work on. “Toot” just seemed weird to me and “Publish” is just too long. “Post” hits the Goldilocks spot 😛

#Introduction
hej, i’m intrigued abt this move 🌌 🪐 .

i’m hoping to connect with those interested in #RStats, #Psychology and #MentalHealth.

i’m a psychology researcher working with computer scientists to develop the r-package {text} (https://r-text.org/) that enables you to use state-of-the-art #NaturalLanguageProcessing and #MachineLearning techniques to analyze natural language data.

i’m planning to share updates we do to the text-package 📦 under #RStats and #Rtext

Peace out ✌️

One thing I miss about living in Scotland is nobody knows Jewish holidays so you never have to work. excuse me, you want me to come to the office on tu bishvat? yeah ok I think the TREES will have something to say about THAT one

Hey all, I hope you're having a great start to the week.

I try not to get ahead of myself, but I can't help getting excited about the prospects of Spring. There's something special about the woods coming alive after a long winter.

That said, winter is still my favourite season - it can be so varied and rewarding when everything aligns perfectly.

Here's an image from a cold morning in January.
