Mastodon 4.2 now with opt-in post search and better cross-instance interactions
theverge.com> In earlier versions, you could search for hashtags, usernames, and display names but could not search the contents of profiles or posts (except by pasting in the URL, which we’ll get to). Now, it works more like the search box on basically every other website.
This is great, lack of global FT search is the biggest obstacle for me discovering relevant content on Mastodon. Hope Hackyderm server is upgraded soon!
