Right now, i can’t seem to find (“discover”) any users on tumblr nor Mastodon here. Except for wilwheaton.tumblr.com (try vancityreynolds or reallyndacarter) I’m getting zero results when I search. Am I doing something wrong or is something broken?

@jmuscara No, I'm not sure why that doesn't work. Lynda Carter requires me to sign in, so that might be it. Ryan Reynolds is new, so maybe that is the reason. I'm tagging @help to get some, well, help on figuring this out. 😇

@sod @jean @help @jmuscara It looks like Tumblr now push much more on the social network side of things ("/vancityreynolds") rather than the blog side of things ("vancityreynolds.tumblr.com"). It wouldn't surprise me if newer accounts were all but impossible to include in the open web.

@SimonWoods they've added quite a few dark patterns-- I've noticed /archive pages get nuisance banners if you scroll to far or try to click to posts from there without explicitly opening in new tabs, for example.

@jsonbecker I got yelled at by an advert on there recently... it was for jobs at Automattic.

@SimonWoods @sod @jean @help thanks for the replies. That's really too bad because it would be a cool feature and help draw more here I think
