A bit of weirdness I hadn't noticed before. While you can #search #Mastodon on free text now, it won't find links. Meanwhile, the Trending/Explore view has the "News" section which will only show links (along with metadata like "125 people shared", but not the toots themselves).
So Mastodon will recommend you links people talk about, but will obscure the talk itself. Do I have to explain the ways in which this can be actively harmful?
