I was having some issues finding myself in the search on other instances and wanted to see if I’m doing something wrong or if somebody has advice to fix it. Long story short, I’m a fan of Nostr so I’m usually on there. It’s bridged to the fediverse, so that usually gives me my microblogging fix on both sides of the distributed micro blogging protocols but most servers have a hard time finding my account.

It’s supposed to come up by searching @910af9070dfd6beee63f0d4aaac354b5da164d6bb23c9c876cdf524c7204e66d@mostr.pub or https://mostr.pub/users/npub1jy90jpcdl447ae3lp4924s65khdpvnttkg7fepmvmafycusyueksrvllx9

(Yes, it’s abnormally long, cost of identifying an account with a key pair).

It comes up in some instances, but not most. Some instances defederate with the bridge, but on some instances I confirmed are federated with the bridge (and that show other mostr.pub accounts in the search) can’t find mine.

I wrote it off as maybe the bridge being slow or janky, so I also created @[email protected] (friendica). I figured I could throw on my blog incase anybody wanted to ping me or use it if I want to reply to anybody if their instance blocked the Mostr bridge. However, I seem to be having the same thing: on servers I know are federated with nerdica.net (and that show other nerdica.net accounts in the search) @[email protected] still shows no results.

I made a few posts and let it sit for a while with no luck. Just wanted to check in and see if I’m doing something wrong that’s perhaps obvious to everybody but me or something?

Thanks

Edit: the links above to my profile won’t work on lemmy since it’s expecting the profile at /u/ on Lemmy instead of the mastodon link structure. Others they’re not broken and I can confirm they work sometimes.
