Primal's explore feature is really cool. Love the distinction between tribe and network.
"Trending" is neat too! Does that mean that the algorithms are here? 🤔

Hadn’t seen this. Slick.
Do a paynym with me
It is awesome...
I clicked on trending feature...
for some reason there is a nostr name "eoun" that is trending there with lots of different women images - invasive, some seems very inappropriate...
I found it to be wrong on a few levels...
Just saying...in hope of something could change it...
although I know... freedom of...
Unfortunately it is just a closed thing that only talks to its own backend, so it negates all the censorship-resistance properties that Nostr was supposed to have.
Do you know if nostr.band only talks to its own backend or not? seems they also have a trending service.
nostr.band is the same, only talks to it's own backend, no censorship-resistance.
Yes, I know that. nostr.band is not advertising itself as a "client" though.
The line is subtle, but if you don't care about that then you are wrong. If most people don't care then Nostr is dead and we're just wasting our times.
Oh. I kind of got this. nostr.band is more like an information provider, like blockchain.com
oh. would factors such as search be a contradicting tool as it explores keywords ? This has been debated topic for a while. On tribes, love the term but reluctant when i am limited to a mandatory 3 degree network
I would say it is ok to have a trusted and centralized server making recommendations, displaying lists of interesting content and curated home feeds, but the actual act of fetching the data from people you follow must be done on the client-side and using something like the outbox-(gossip)-model thought, otherwise there is no censorship resistance at all.
This front end looks great
