Is anyone working on a content discovery?

Ex. a relay that can return trending hashtags, a curated global feed etc?

Basically this but in relay form over wss

wss://relay.nostr.band is actually a good relay to have on your list. I don't think it has any special discovery features, but it has most events.

Well it has NIP-50 and NIP-45 support, which are kinda special ๐Ÿ˜‰

Oh sorry, you said 'discovery', yeah it doesn't have anything fancy here.

Yeah, I use it for search.

Would you prefer an approach like this https://data.nostr.band - common kind for all query type, d-tag to specify query params. Or a separate kind dedicated to each of trending X, curated Y?

Ndapp is an interesting approach.

I think a common replaceable event kind published every 15-60 minutes (or daily) could be useful to client apps for trending. People can select from different pubkeys - for which seems better quality, etc. You lose historic, but likely ok.

Skews for people, topics, hashtags, relays, etc.

The main issue is scope, or abuse. Faking results to benefit them, or maybe not dynamic enough. And automated content thatโ€™s repetitive, by count, ranks highly today without filtering.

Gotta think about this now, didn't consider this approach you've outlined, it's compelling too

Ah you meant from relay...got it just now ๐Ÿ˜…

wss://powrelay.xyz will send you the events with most POW that match your query.

I like POW because it is a trustless solution to content discovery. If you care about the content of a note, you should be willing to spend money mining POW for it. If not, then it's probably ok for people not to pay attention to it.
