@Sal @imgprojts I've been wondering the same thing for a while, as apparently that's also the reason for Mastodon (and others too, I guess) not allowing users to search for posts if not by hashtag. I can't really figure out what's the problem that this decision aims to solve.
@junbird @Sal @imgprojts maybe due to missing central index, rather many local, distributed ones. But, I am just guessing. Full-text indices may also be cumbersome to distribute.
