Hello my name is Ben and I am a self-booster

There doesn't seem to be many of us around. Either that's because I am a disgusting monster or because others may not know how to do this (or a combination).

At the risk of telling people how to Mastodon.... if you're at all interested in searching either yours, or anyone else's (pending their settings) old posts you can do this by searching:

From:person keyword

For example...

From:me soup

This will then return all of your available previous posts mentioning soup.

Or if you want to search someone else's soup chat, you simply replace 'me' with their @:

From:@TheBreadmonkey soup

Further to this, you can add to the end:

Before:2023-09-30

From:@TheBreadmonkey soup before:2023-09-30

... and this will return all available results from that person before that date!

Happy souping, everybody!
