The point I was making the other day is that giving users a familiar experience is important during this phase. Users are leaving Twitter (or X or whatever the fuck it will be called tomorrow) in search of a better place, and the UI of the apps they onboard with shouldn’t create another obstacle for them.

For me -what’s going on, hashtag wise (trending) would be useful. If you just put a hashtag into search, nothing appears underneath-it’s empty. I get why-but not a familiar thing for people. If a list of what’s been hashtagged already, appeared underneath, this could help to navigate around a bit and increase content accessibility. I think some people are still basing a lot of their experiences here on the people they follow-not content because they are unsure of the hashtag thing.
Agreed on the search issue. Clients haven’t gotten this working well yet. I still use https://nostr.band to search for anything and then copy note IDs back to Damus to reference them.
It’s annoying but decentralization has a lot of gaps. Most #nostr clients are less than 6 months old and don’t even qualify for a true 1.0 status.
Sorry, is this on Amethyst? When you search for a hashtag, the first reply should be an option to see the hashtag feed. The button is not as clear as I would like, but it is there.
Let me know if it is not showing up for you when you type #word on search. There might be a bug somewhere.
No, Victor-this is not on amethyst. Many apologies-I should have made myself clearer.
