Interesting...

did you have a mutual friend / follower that already had me followed?

Amethyst, Iris, Plebstr, Nostrudel, pretty much all the good android + web options have awful search unless you are a massive account like nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a or nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s

that can't be the standard if we want to make a serious push for new users

You don’t even need a central server to have good search. The damus profile database gets filled up with not too much use.

k you have me though already followed?

I had a friend join NOSTR the other day through Damus I believe. She goes by @ RilezKirk

No posts yet

See if you can find the account via search and share the NPUB, I'll tell you if it's the right one

NONE OF the 8 clients I tried could find her

Right now most clients don’t use relays that host and share just contact and profile information. We were using purplepag.es by nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft until we added that functionality in to our own relay.nos.social. I think using those is a stop gap, but we need a better solution to finding people and contacts.
