@NorthEastOne@northeast.one @feditips@mstdn.social In the search bar, you can search keywords with the hashtags. e.g. #Mastodon Not having a search function with free text is a decision made by the devs. It is to avoid trolls being able to search the entire fediverse to find people to harrass (think e.g. the sentence "I am trans"). This decreases functionality a bit, therefore it is so important to add many hashtags under your toot so other people can find it.
