All we really had on Nostr was a social media feed (until recently, yay!), so I had to find people to talk with about things in that feed.
Which meant I needed to lurk all over that feed and try to collect people I might want to talk to about X topic, so that I could launch a thread on that topic and get a response.
But this is backward. I should just be going to a place where I can sift through threads about X topic and talk to whomever is there.
