To see it in action:

Crust.piefed.social (the Piefed development instance)

Not all instances implement it yet, I guess it depends how often they pull from the dev branch

Example of search for 'movies'

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

I figured that you would be! :-)

Although to be clear, searching for content is not something that I do daily or even weekly, so personally I consider it much lower in prioritization than other feature requests, e.g. a comment reply has a Preview option but a top-level comment to a post does not (that button does not appear), notifications is still a bit wonky, particularly not interacting well with the newer feature that loads comments (when there is a larger number of them?) only after loading the post, and then by doing so fails to traverse to where the notification link was aiming to take me to, etc.

Though I suppose others may consider it higher priority, especially newer people evaluating PieFed, and probably working on the search back-end may be a lot more fun!? :-P

It is always nice to see new things coming to PieFed. This is the only software giving me any hope for social media right now:-).

A lot of those are fixed in v1.2 (unreleased) :)

Uh oh, I now have a problem: I cannot keep up with remembering all the new features added!? Oh well, I am very pleased to have this issue:-). (\s bc there are Release Notes)
