Yeah I am realizing that over time, also that paste-url-into-search-field is a core usage pattern for fedi
@forestjohnson i've heard this from others too (mainly new twitter converts?) but it's not a pattern i recognize from my own long-time fedi usage, interestingly. I do the (url) search thing *sometimes*, but definitely not often
1. make the "link to post" (which is currently a bit too hidden as an un-indicated hyperlink under the timestamp ) more prominent
2. expand the search bar to cover the whole top of the page, perhaps even make the current URL show there by default... ? IDK maybe this is too much... But its gotta be a better solution than that awful "type in your full handle in order to take this action" popup window
