One annoying thing about the Fediverse is the federation. Really.
When I want to search for a Mastodon post I read last week, you can be sure that I mostly will find mile long wordpress blog posts that contain those words.
I want a way to select only things posted on Mastodon.
Only I don't know if it was posted on Mastodon, it could be another implementation of AP.
Long story short, i hate searching the Fediverse. I never find what I want.
