@cb150cf9 So Mastodon has full text search included in the most recent version of the software but only if people opt into it. Many people choose not to do so for privacy reasons. When people post things they want to be searchable, they will use hashtags because hashtags are set to be searchable by default on Mastodon. So you may have better luck searching for those terms as hashtags. 1/2 

 @cb150cf9 You can also write a post introducing yourself and include the #introduction hashtag to help others find you. You can also include other hashtags like #disabled and #entrepreneur so that others looking specifically for those subjects see your post. HTH 2/2
