If any server in the world suddenly has to cope with two or three times more than its usual number of active users, it may behave in unexpected ways.

The surest, most guaranteed way to find an account on here is this:

fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-

If this doesn't work for you at this minute on your server, it may be due to the server being under unexpected strain.

Bear in mind all these servers are run by volunteers, it takes some time to upgrade the hardware.

@feditips @jentaub [nods] Again, we live *after* Twitter, where the search bar works just fine.

I hate to keep saying it, but in 2022 RTFM is just a bug, not a feature.

If the ‘surest way to find somebody’ on Mastodon is a whole separate link, then - I dunno - just get the search bar to *link there,* I guess?

@feditips @DaultRadio @jentaub thanks, I was just having a problem finding dr Jack brown. It wasn’t finding him without the full handle. Got it now!
