There seriously needs to be a way to say "Show me my toots from 2026-05-02" or whatever on #fedi.
Paging down through pages and pages of results feels silly, and is an unwarranted tax on the server.
@rl_dane Hmmm 🤔
That's a really good question!
@rl_dane In the search bar:
from:me after:2026-05-01 before:2026-05-03
Jul 3, 2026, 4:29 PMDoesn't seem to work on GoToSocial. Is that a Mastodon feature I'm just now hearing about?
@rl_dane @daniel
GoTo has from, but no date range: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/src/branch/main/docs/user_guide/search.md
Mastodon has a couple of additional operations: https://lucahammer.com/2024/04/25/mastodon-advanced-search-guide-and-operators

@rl_dane
That would be a very nice feature.
There is "posty", which can export an archive of your posts, which is then searchable. I've included it in my last couple of annual archives.

It surprises me that you cannot set parameters like that in the search field
