In the Mastodon app when you click on a profile, you get "posts" "posts & replies" and "media". What it really needs is a 4th one, which is posts without boosts. Boosts are critical to the fediverse working (one of the reasons I boost a lot). But if you're looking for something a user wrote, finding it among the boosts can be a pain.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://social.v.st/users/quixoticgeek/statuses/115956067824376518 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
