Yeah, it’s still very cumbersome to use Nostr like a proper social media. I have all kinds of difficulties too and my posts don’t get any interactions whatsoever lately. Even the npub search is broken for me. I believe all these will be fixed in the future though.

Yeah, I almost fall over if I post anything and get notifications. But I do know it's different, not going for likes but Value 4 Value which is cool. I tend to think I take a ton of time to post a lot of information, sometimes hours, but I get nothing.
But someone posts GM and gets a ton of interaction.
On Xitter it is even worse for me, but I do think NOSTR is the place to ultimately go but it is still in early development which is fine, but for me, Been there Done that so I am riding the coattails at this point in my life. Too old to lead the way.😤
"proper social media" you mean something that spies on you and manipulates you?
I was obviously talking about UI.
unfortunately it really is a middle/back end problem that you can't just magic up a search button...
this is my specialisation, after all, not that i have actually built a full text search engine, i rewrote fiatjaf's filter search system so it was more readable
nostr filters are all you get as a guarantee, there is some nip for search functionality, the hipster in crowd nostriches like to call them "DVM" and nostr.band is one of the search capable relays i think
