Is there something about Mastodon and the Fediverse that you need help with?
Reply to me or send me a DM and I'll try to help if I can, or put you in touch with someone else who can help.
Don't worry if a question seems silly or obvious! The idea of this account is to especially help new people.
@feditips one question that’s been bugging me is whether it’s possible to search within one’s own toots? The new search function is great but it doesn’t seem to have that functionality. Thank you!
Yes, you can!
The new search function includes lots of special operator words which let you choose exactly what you search:

For searching your own stuff, include the phrase from:me in your search. There are more of these operators in the above link, scroll to the bottom of the page.
@feditips ah-ha! That’s brilliant, thank you!
