<p id="module-searx.engines.mastodon"><a class="reference external" href="https://mastodon.social">Mastodon</a> is an open source alternative to large social media platforms like
Twitter/X, Facebook, …</p>
<p>Since its federated and self-hostable, theres a large amount of available
instances, which can be chosen instead by modifying <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">base_url</span></code>.</p>
<p>We use their official <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/">API</a> for searching, but unfortunately, their Search <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/">API</a>
forbids pagination without OAuth.</p>
<p>Thats why we use tootfinder.ch for finding posts, which doesnt support searching
for users, accounts or other types of content on Mastodon however.</p>
