Hi @starbreaker, Im one one of the new folks here. I am blind and thefore use this platform with a screenreader. One important question: I can't serch for people or things like a hashtag. I can fill in what ever i want in the field, but get no results. May an accessibilityproblem be the reason?

@balouqlc @starbreaker probably not. The search is really bad, and usually doesn't find much at all. At least that's what I've seen.

@loke Well, I tested with simple terms like or hashtags I hav seen here, so I knew, that there should be some results. But no chance.Another point, It is very hard to find messages or replys, that were being sent to me. :-( I am afraid, there is still a lot of work to do for the devellopers. :-( I understand, that all work is done here without money, but if I can't take part in this, why should I stay here? 😟

@balouqlc Finding the replies is quite easy. They should all be available in the “Notifications” feed.

Are you using a client and if so, which one? Or are you just using the normal web site?

@loke Well, I found the replys afterall. Had to hav a break, and after that it worked. ;-) However, is there any Desktopclient or even better an App for IOS I could use? Haven't found something of interest so far, which does not mean, that there is nocthing. ;-)

@balouqlc well, perhaps the Emacs client could be useful?
