Full text search has been merged in #Mastodon main branch, and will be in the next (and final?) 4.2.0 beta 🎉 It is opt-in, so it will take some time to be filled with people content as they enable their profile to be indexed, but this was one of the most wanted Mastodon features for some time.

Most people seem to not want to be discoverable with the exception of artists and other people who want to make money, I doubt search will replace hashtags as the primary discovery method

OpenStreetMap is a more than good enough database for a Google Maps alternative, they're just trying to discredit it at this point, all major map apps use the far more detailed OSM data in some form, including GMaps. What people have an issue with is the lack of software, though at this point Organic Maps or Magic Earth could probably be a full replacement for most
The iOS Files app only lets you access a tiny part of the OS so you don't accidentally install a non-Apple approved app or god forbid, modify something on a device you own 🥴

See the quick inspect-element mockup I put together for an example. I'm bad at design, but I think it gets the point across. Current implementation on left, suggested on right. Also, I'm using Kbin Enhancement Suite for the modifications to instance names, but I think they are even more useful for this demonstration....
Actually, Lemmy already does crossposts, Kbin doesn't. This user just crossposted their post, and interestingly, they just show up as separate posts to us. I'd think Lemmy would use the protocol's boost feature, but maybe there's some limitation that prevents this
As always, non-profit open-source software gets branded as "complex" for no reason. Mastodon's maintainer even made mastodon.social a default server so it takes absolutely 0 seconds to get started which was hated by the userbase for the centralization it causes, and it's still "complex"
They are connected (you can boost/retweet Lemmy posts from Mastodon) but use a different API for apps, so they won't all support it. Kbin supports interacting with both Lemmy and Mastodon, but it's a different platform so you're going to have to create a new account
