For as much as I like https://nostr.band/ I think it will be sad if we end up with a handful of search engines indexing the entirety of the Nostr public network. If Nostr is successful it will be hard for hobby search engines to exist, right? The amount of stuff will be too huge.
Does it make sense or does it scale to have search engines that prune content and only keep references? Or search engines that only index content from the last year from a set of relays? Or only from a set of public keys according to some algorithm? I don't know.
this is the most important topic *** going forward.
there has to be trade-off between factors like filtering , indexing, ... Also commercial sustainability aspect need to/will come soon. big player with deep pocket will enter space too. wish to multiplayer level playing field - Than hegemony of gulag 95% crawling / indexing market share english++ content of clearnet - crowd happy to follow that ! hope #nostr #search #engine evolve ot be better place in 5years from now
