Realized that the #TwitterMigration is like going from beta testing the Fediverse to production
Just like a public beta always turns up issues that were missed during development, going to production you suddenly have a *huge* pool of new users who are going to use the system in ways you didn't anticipate and haven't already accustomed themselves to its quirks.
And that turns up a lot more things you need to fix!
Regarding federated hashtag searching, I think it's cool that Bookwyrm (fediverse Goodreads alternative), can search federated servers for books in their library.
I wonder if Mastodon could take some inspiration from how that's implemented.
@danjones000 Yes, I love Bookwyrm! It's still a bit clunky and I have to re-discover how to find my way around it sometimes, but IMO that's more of a barrier to a general chat system like Mastodon than to a more focused site (and the clunkiness doesn't have 5+ years of inertia behind it)
