You can see tagged posts only if they are known to your instance aka somebody is following account, which used mentioned tag, but search is not able to really search all posts with hashtag in whole fediverse. So if there is some niche instance about some topic, you will never find posts from there, if it was not federated by somebody following accounts from this server.

Problem of mastodon is that you are only able to search hashtags, and only on your instance. So if you are on small instances where nobody is talking about topics which interest you or are not using hashtags, you are not able to find anything, because fulltext search is not supported.

My lemmy account has been deleted from the app after update to 1.0.0 version. I don’t know if it was intentional, jut to let you know.

Only TWSBI & LAMY on my desk 😅

You have to try search multiple times… shortcuts community showed for me on 3rd try in search page, and then I was able to go there and subscribe

I just subscribe to communities on multiple instances, so I can see all posts on my home “subscribed” page
