A few streams back @mikeneu and I collab’d on a way to embed a YouTube video transcript right into a blog post for easy static search integration and I finally got a little demo of that going on my personal web site—you can see it in action here: https://www.zachleat.com/web/taylor-swift-fansite/#searchable-transcript

The transcript deep links to the video and the video updates the active caption from the video. (I kinda love it)

Hoping to get a more substantial blog post up on the approach soon!

Mastodon needs search. I can't even find / search my own posts to find something again 😞

Another search project shutting down after some days. Turns out Fediverse search is a hard thing.

Welcome new 🐘 people!
Some #feditips 👇:fedi:

To disable the #notification sounds in #mastodon:

• Click the bell 🔔 on the right hand sidebar
• Then the 3 knobs 🎚 icon and uncheck sound

If you miss the #twitter look try the custom user interface called #elk #elkapp:

• https://elk.zone
• Some servers have it locally but it can connect to others as well

Words:

• Post/Toot = Tweet
• Boost = Retweet
• Favorite = Like

Boosting a post shows it on your feed. Favoriting a post will show it to the author:

• Others can only see your favs by clicking that post
• You can't lookup others favs so use them freely
• You can search posts you've fav:ed from the #️⃣ explore button on the right sidebar

Some instances allow longer messages. This depends on each servers settings.

To make posts #searchable by others:

• Use #hashtags
• Only a few servers like https://infosec.exchange and https://mastodon.social support #FullTextSearch
• This feature is coming for all servers soon in V4.2.0

Cheers!

I joined #TootFinder index: my posts are now full-text #searchable on #Mastodon:
https://www.tootfinder.ch/

Thank you to @buercher for creating TootFinder. The service is opt-in, not opt-out, and won’t index accounts that don’t register for it. (This also means that the index will remain small unless users join—hint, hint.)
