In case you missed it, you can make the entire text of your public Mastodon posts searchable by other people by opting into the "full text search" system. This means all the words in your public posts would be searchable, not just the hashtags.

Instructions for opting into full text search are at:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-opt-into-or-out-of-full-text-search-on-mastodon

For privacy/consent reasons this is switched off for everyone by default. You have to opt into it for your public posts to be fully searchable.

@FediTips можно сделать весь текст ваших публикаций в (а не только хэштеги) доступным для поиска, выбрав систему «полнотекстового поиска» (из соображений конфиденциальности эта функция отключена по умолчанию).

@FediTips The page describes it correctly, but somehow I got lost in 'Preferences' in Mastodon. If anyone is also looking for it... it's here. 👇

@FediTips Your instance had to support it though. Mine does not.

@jgordon

As far as I know you can still opt in even if your server doesn't offer full text search. Your posts should be picked up by full text search on other servers.

@FediTips opt in?! What a novel idea!
