Honestly, here's how I search my own toots.

I use justmytoots.com/

I don't know if @cookie_mumbles is still maintaining it, but it still works! 😎

It is *entirely* opt in, stores nothing of your content, and blocks search engines from crawling it.

It just looks at your server, and displays a current list of your toots.

You can adjust view options like: public only, with replies, or only media.

@ErictheCerise @CppGuy @cookie_mumbles

To search I just scroll *down* the page a lot, then use my browser to search the page! 😃

My page looks like this:

justmytoots.com/@5ciFiGirl@sta

Or with replies:

justmytoots.com/@5ciFiGirl@sta

~

To enable it, just put your handle at the end of the link like mine is, and put it in your bio. It will only display while that permission exists!

(If you specify *with replies* or *media only* etc, it will lock viewers to that, giving you more control.)

Ps, login is completely optional. It's really for viewing other people's feeds, if you want to like or boost from there.

Everything else functions with no login!😃

Im still maintaining but have slowed with adding new features. If anything’s wrong though, just let me know :)

@cookie_mumbles @ErictheCerise @CppGuy

Thank you! 😎

I still use it and share it, so I'm glad to hear that you are still keeping it running! 😃

@cookie_mumbles I just followed someone's link from their bio on mastodon.social to justthetoots, and it's coming up blank.

Is it working in general, or did something change just now?

@5ciFiGirl @CppGuy @ErictheCerise

@clacke

Sometimes my page shows up blank, but I click the big down arrow, and then it loads.

Does that work if you try it?

@cookie_mumbles @ErictheCerise @CppGuy

@5ciFiGirl Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately the spinnner shows up for half a second, then it's back to the arrow and no toots.

When I'm on a real computer I'll have a look at the network console what the error is. I won't put the user's name here.

@cookie_mumbles

@clacke

It was worth a try, unfortunately that was the extent of my knowledge. 🤔

@cookie_mumbles will have to take it from here, if you don't find a solution. 😎

@5ciFiGirl @clacke
The service retrieves the last couple of toots and displays the results after filtering out the boosts. If those are all boosts then the page turns out blank I’m afraid. Could this be the case? Try and click the arrow a couple of times and see if it works then.

I should really build a retrying thing there…

@cookie_mumbles @clacke

Makes sense.

For troubleshooting reasons, here's my page, two ways:

Original posts only:
justmytoots.com/@5ciFiGirl@sta

And with replies:
justmytoots.com/@5ciFiGirl@sta

My original posts page needs one arrow press to show anything, because I have few of those, and many boosts.

But my replies page shows results right away, because I have way more of those! 😎

@5ciFiGirl @cookie_mumbles Ohhhh yeah, ok. Each click means one page of raw posts, which is then filtered. So if the first non-repost post is on page 5, that'll look like nothing is happening on the first three clicks.
@5ciFiGirl @cookie_mumbles Yep that's it. I clicked multiple times on the arrow on my "problem" user, and posts showed up.
