Personally I’d reverse that order to start with hashtags; which would be a great source to identify relevant users to follow.

To be clear you can search for hashtags on #damus.
For new user discovery try:
#introductions
#grownostr
#plebchain
Thx! And is a great feature. Also use on iris.to
The other ‘intro yourself’ tags don’t usually surface the topics I’d be interested in. Granted, I could do a better job tagging on my own posts.
Interestingly, #BlueSky is explicitly avoiding building hashtags and relying on natural language search at the moment. If you think about what IG posts turned into (a hashtag hellscape), including them does propose a particular user behavior.
Yes search needs to improve, and is on roadmap. Try using nos.today for search.
You can search for the topics you are interested in without hashtags there.
