A uncensored meme search engine is another Nostr killer use case.
Can't find anything on google/kagi.
Discussion
Nostr is exciting solution for text content, but I don't understand how visual memes are uncensorable here? Isn't media actually not stored in a network but served from a specific URL someone posted?
Please keep in mind that I am new to nostr and might have overlooked something.
You understand it correctly.
The way I see it is e.g. google images is essentially also a text search engine redirecting to the media hosts. I don't think the problem is nobody wants to host the memes but that discovery is highly censored and permissioned.
Not sure how much sense this concept makes but I think on Nostr everyone could publish a specific Event, identifiable as Meme Event, containing metadata to index (description, tags) and any amount of either URL endpoints to download or maybe a magnet URL. I think Blossom also works on media distribution (haven't looked at it yet, not sure), https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom
A meme client could then list and search these events and find every imaginable meme.
I guess the concept could be compared with what dtan.xyz does with torrents. https://dtan.xyz/
