Hey everyone, in the aboveπŸ‘†πŸ‘†πŸ‘† toot, the founder of Mastodon explains in one sentence how to make your public posts accessible to search if you want. You do have to go to your profile settings within a BROWSER instead of in an app (which is why it took me so long to do it), but I did it just now and I promise it’s easy!
