I've got a misskey node (misskey.eskimo.com) that I've recently got up and running but having difficulty figuring out how to use it and how to correctly configure it.

With regards to usage, how to I follow a user or thread that I am interested in?

With respects to configure, if I try to use search it says Search Unavailable. I assume this is because somewhere in the fourteen levels of interface there is an option to enable it? If so if someone could point me to where that is, it would be much appreciated.
