oh no, so being federated with mastodon means we have to suffer getting those kinds of hot takes on our timeline?
People are so impatient! We’re at the start of a potential paradigm shift; these things take time and need time to develop.
Everyone’s so desperate for federated services to be drop in replacements. Let them be different, let them be better

It’s like the early internet, you have to move around and eventually you’ll find what you are looking for. Follow that link! Search engines were useful for that back in the day.
I bet we’ll have similar services even if we do not have them just yet.
Lemmy has keyword based search lol
Open the menu, select Communities, set the filter to All, then type in words that you like.
I wonder if the reason they thought there was no search because they’re posting from Mastodon 🤷♀️
Also, extremely cute to think that lists (no one.knowd about) are a substitute for effective search. How 1994 Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle.
