Final thing I’m reviewing for @mammoth is search.

It’s awful.

I did a search for “Mastodon” and there’s not posts. I know the technical reason why, but why not explain to new users how search works on Mastodon?

Otherwise they’re going to think it’s broken.

By the way, I just did a search for #Mastodon (with hashtag) @mammoth. Still no posts.

It did give me a list of hashtags.

You can all be assured that hashtags work in @mammoth, but you can only see this if you select a hashtag first.

To bad posts with a hashtag don’t immediately show up.

Again, huge usability problem here.

My opinion on @mammoth:

A buggy, confusing app with too many features that are implemented poorly.

There's too many dark patterns.

And there's legit security issues pertaining to so-called "private" messages.

I do not recommend this app.
