@ezist frontend is better, stuff like search, hashtags, etc just works, hell it even has groups and most of the limitations (like lol character limit) are fixed in forks like glitchsoc
@chj0@ezist FTS is trash though. You need Elasticsearch and it's limited to posts you interacted with. I have Postgres FTS for all posts but pagination doesn't work and I don't know how to fix it.
