“Not on enough relays” is almost always the answer.

Lol. On the other apps mentioned I can search for someone by name, even when I don’t follow them. On Damus it only works when I’m following them, or if I paste their npub or Nostr address. Whatever the other apps are doing, Damus needs to do that or figure out another better way. Search is too important.
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s Who’s working to improve the Damus search capabilities?
Noone atm
nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 let’s add this pls 💜
a mix of nos.today and nostr.band would be nice.
having keywords/hashtags in a similar way to the Primal app, with some sorting features also
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s has now gone down a ‘search’ rabbit hole. Yay!!! Something about inverted indexes… no one knows what it means but it’s provocative! nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u 😂
This has been one of the biggest gripes of new users when the first join. Search and discovery in Damus has been basically nonexistent. Hashtags, users, keywords, it appears as if #nostr doesn’t work!
