How do I get the best comments from a post or what OP considers as answer to his question ? Also how do you search for stuff here ?

You know, a reason why we liked reddit and stackexchange is the upvotes/awards and that the site tells you what the post owner liked (which is supposed to be the answer you’re looking for). what is the alternative here ? or does the admin add a bot to do this stuff on the instance ?

also the search ! we used to use google search and write reddit or stackexchange after what you searched, or like site:mathstackexchange.com at the end of the search query, how do I search for content that I want on this “fediverse” ? or at least in an instance ?

if the question should have been asked elsewhere please tell me, I still struggle with the fediverse
