This is what happens when you launch with no content discovery features, so you have to whore yourself out and follow anyone and everyone if you want to get any attention.

No hashtags, no full text search. Just an algorithmic feed and a following feed, and you can only search users.
That's...really bad 😭 Even Mastodon allows you to search by hashtags (I know it supports full-text search but most instances turn that off because it's pricey)
Actually I only pay $20/month for a hosted opensearch server for my Mastodon instance. I think a lot of people on Mastodon are against full text search for ideological reasons.
