@feditips @jonny this is a reason why people say mastodon is too complicated. If I wanted to log in to a website, I wouldn't have installed an app. Then add on servers not upgrading as an extra layer of awkward. πŸ™

I understand the frustration, but think this is a case of a "least worst" solution?

Being on a centralised social network is simpler because you have no options. If the person running the network does something bad (as we can see now with Musk on Twitter) then you just have to accept it.

The range of options on here means it does get more complicated sometimes, but it also keeps you safe from Musk-type scenarios because you can switch servers or apps if something bad happens.

@feditips @jonny probably, but still frustrating. Is there a list of servers that pledge to stay up to date? A list of apps that will expose all settings?

@mjr @jonny

Your server is only one version behind the current one so I'd imagine it will update soon. Maybe your server admin @admin can help?

(The full text search feature is brand new, so it's only available on the latest version.)

For apps it's up to each developer. On Moshidon perhaps @moshidon might have news on adding this setting to the app?

@feditips @mjr @jonny @admin It's already available in the current nightly version, and will be available in the next stable release.

Thank you for liking #Moshidon!

@feditips @jonny @admin @moshidon sure, that helps me (thanks all you lovely people) but are there no general sources for this info yet, for users less expert than you and less mouthy than me?
