Anyway, back to gripes about Mastodon: the lack of full-text search really limits the ability to track news and trends and in general research stuff. It's one roadblock to having this work more fully as a replacement for Twitter for so many types of information workers.

Based on posts like this https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/49477 33 this was intentional but what's not clear to me is whether third-party search services could gain acceptance and succeed in spite of what core Mastodon developers have decided.

Oh, I should mention this here (as I've only done so on Elmodome):

Follow Mediagazer at @Mediagazer!

https://www. mediagazer.com/ is like Techmeme but for journalism/content industries.

@howelloneill I used "they" because sadly I am too busy to join them. But I wish them luck, and my armchair thought leadership!

@howelloneill And yikes, looking at my last reply to you, toots should really embed nicely. Maybe there is some anti-QT reasoning behind them not embedding, but if so I disagree!

@CynthiaBrumfield That's true but you will never see the people here who just give up.

@anildash Hope so, though the devs have had a few years already to iron these things out. Maybe the hope is that they can accommodate great energetic new dev talent?

One bright spot for Mastodon though: I'm noticing more founder/investor types here vs. earlier this week. Prior to that it felt like mostly writers/tinkerers/thinkbois. (No data on this, just my impressions!)

@innonate Oh no crickets from me. It's confusing. I can cite a lot of issues. When I heard "Wait, I need an account on his server to follow him?" I let out a big sigh. (Note: no you do not, but you need to perform a little incantation.)

While the decentralized architecture of Mastodon is cool, admirable, and great nerd fun... oof it's painful to watch someone you know sign up and try to figure things out here. The simple task of following whom other key people follow is a total minefield.

Getting the sense that for better or for worse, the nerd quotient will remain extremely high among denizens of the fediverse (which yes, sounds tautological, heh.)

@joannastern @Techmeme Yep, like @dannysullivan noted, we're doing it now (though toots do not appear on their own line yet). But we're not doing it very well. There are a bunch of things we'd need to do to crawl Mastodon better. And the sad news is there are no real full text search APIs for Mastodon. We depend on APIs like that for Twitter.

Apologies for @Techmeme barfing a few times 9 hours ago. (An old test process had come back to life and was posting alongside normal Techmeme. The issue is resolved!)
