- Actual communities

- Using the wiki topic instead (as the topic I'd)

Hash collisions? 👀

The beauty and the problem of #hashtags is that anyone can use it to either reference the actual topic, or to infiltrate its feed (like it happened with some porn making it to the #zapathon feed briefly).

If the ability to use any hashtag is taking away from users, discoverability on #nostr is hindered, but is there anyway this can be solved on a user level?

Do we need moderators to filter? People or Ai filters?

Language is Defined by The User.

Clients, Relays, and Users will adapt to this accordingly.

#Amethyst

I don't think you need to solve it. the lesser community will come up with their own hashtag to circumvent the larger community. it happens all the time.

No point bothering with hashtags, when AI can figure out the topics covered.

I just use them to make the word appear in a different #style.

This is a moot argument because people can use any hashtag they want for any topic or discussion. Hashtags are cool on paper, but in practice they just don't work. #foodstr

Why when u post videos on Primal it won’t show on Amethyst & tells u to go to Primal to download video @Vitor Pamplona ??? I thought u can view videos in any apps

Hashtags are retarded. Always have been.

everything keeps going in circles:

hashtags, works on any relay -> gets spammed -> use different relays where hash tags are moderated -> which relays? -> goto 10.

the pieces that are missing:

invites to relays + nip66 enhancements. invites or recommended relays for a particular hashtag. relays being mod capable, easy to mod, via CLIENTS, in the first place.

Well first -- it would be a great problem to have if there were actually enough users here to make a viable "crystallography" community.

But 2nd, I'm sure Twitter had to evolve through this kind of thing. As others have pointed out, AI-powered content discovery might solve this as well.

Don't these things eventually self-resolve if there is longer-term use/confusion.... ie. #AmethystApp #AmethystCrystals

Hashtags sometimes have multiple meanings. I remember when nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgkhjsen added #ETH🇪🇹 on Twitter, when it also could have been #ETH💩

The client opinionates the meaning.

Then again, this leads to beautiful chaos on #Nostr.

As usual, we'll call it a nostr feature and we'll pat ourselves in the back (2¢)😅

Joking aside, this is a common issue, usually most popular group wins.

We don't need to solve it, and eventually one use will win over the other and it will solve itself.

#AmethystApp

got the same problem with #matrix the movie

and #matrix the messaging application

I think it helps with discovery. plenty of words have more than one meaning, we'll manage. not a problem, a solution.
