Under `Settings > Public Profile > Privacy and reach` there are a few opt-in settings that determine whether your account is discoverable (first option under "Reach") and whether your posts show up in search results (first option under "Search").
Mastodon search is pretty weak most of the time, and I'm wondering if that's because most people have search indexing.
Do you have yours turned on?
