Newsit – find commentary

It's amongst my favourite browser extensions, however it lacks support for Mastodon: <https://github.com/benwinding/newsit/issues/16>.
Any suggestions?
TIA

@npub17ge…hgsu pleasantly simple, thanks.
I wonder whether their not mentioning "search" was intentionally omissive. I have tootfinder on my profile, do you have any better suggestion?
TIA

Willows Cattery
… thank you 💚 for looking after my cats whilst I was out of town.
Not well-known, traditionally word-of-mouth, it's just lovely.
Bill and Pickle are always so chilled and peaceful when I collect them after their time away from home. When I'm next there, I'll take a photo of them …

I need to find a fediverse space parallel to BSD Cafe, where I can be more engaged with the non-BSD content that I'm passionate about.
I'm greedy. I want all the qualities of BSD Cafe.
Any suggestions?
I do already have a handful of other accounts, including one at https://hear-me.social/about (161 active users) – I confess to not using this account as much as I intended.
Thanks

@npub1t7d…pqpp hi, did you write somewhere about more recent growth in some area(s) of the Cafe?
I vaguely recall glimpsing something a few weeks ago. Don't know whether it was a thing from this year, or last year.

:freebsd_logo: /r/freebsd participants can now present themselves as patrons of BSD Cafe ☕
From <https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1ange1n/user_flair_in_rfreebsd/>:
The number of available flairs has increased from four, to twelve:
— ten are freely available
— FreeBSD committer and FreeBSD contributor will require verification …
Two of the new flairs are based on feedback from a committer …

@npub1t7d…pqpp weeks later, I just realised what you meant by 'Threads'.
(I imagined that it was a technical feature of Mastodon, something not yet discovered by me.)
I'm so naive sometimes :-)

@npub1t7d…pqpp when I seek this profile, it's not found:
@jaredzimmerman@jaredzimmerman.com
Similarly, I can't find the URL below (when I use the search field here):
https://social.jaredzimmerman.com/@jaredzimmerman/109543899102524467
Any ideas?

@npub1t7d…pqpp I'm curious.
Did either of the operating system upgrades, with necessary reboots of the virtual machines, relate to the Elasticsearch reindex?
Or, was reindexing simply coincidental (an opportunity to perform multiple maintenance tasks around the same time)?

@npub1t7d…pqpp thanks, no rush.
I'm tempted to link to the matching post, I'll not do so in case it affects the end result.

@npub1t7d…pqpp hi, is content indexing limited, a cut-off period?
A feature/limitation of Mastodon, maybe?

@npub1t7d…pqpp a good question. Many people jump the gun. The excitement is understandable, but sometimes unfortunate.
It's rare for this to be shouted, but here it is:

The release is not final, not announced, we don't have the installation information page, and so on.
