***** #Rant And #Complaints About #Nostr So Far *****

So I'm a forum/reddit type of person. I'm not into following fucking 'people' or celebrities. It's retarded.

Like, I don't care about some dumb thought you post that you think is inspirational or clever. Or basically pretty much everything that's on nostr, with all honesty.

I don't understand the appeal to the Twitter layout. I don't. It's a firehouse of random shit. No categories , no topics, I don't get that. I'm going to social media because I'm interested in looking at my interests.

Osint, clothes, reddit alternatives, social media, pet care, hair care etc

Where the fuck am I supposed to look? Just shift through a bunch of bullshit? Oh, wait, a hashtag right?

Yea well guess what? That doesn't solve shit. Here's why.

When I'm on reddit in the makeup sub, I GO DIRECTLY TO THE MAKEUP SUB. THING IS, THERE ARE NO SUBS FOR MAKEUP HERE.

I can filter by MULTIPLE words inreddit. Not just by ONE.

When I'm lookin for eyeliner brushes, I can type that in and find all the posts and comments seperated for each and with the words highlighted.

You can't do that here. I would have to look for #eyeliner #makeup #brushes separately.

That's just an example. Do you see what I'm saying here?

Do you see the problem? Yes there are communities, but no one is using them because they are optional.

Why can't words that are hashtaged be automatically populated into those communities? They would group together into the communituy but also still show in the feed.

So if you come here looking for something, you don't have to search for it.

It's not the extra effort that pisses me off. What makes me irritated is, you can't find what you want to see in an efficient way, that makes sense, is organized and isn't cluttered.

Shits all over the place. Also, with reddit and internet forums, your interests are actually fucking there. And seperated for you, FOR YOU TO FIND. Making it easy to contribute in the right sub. That's what you go there for.

●●● But this is a blogging platform. So the fuck is nostr ever going to have communities that operate like forums? ●●●

People arnt here for their interests or to contribute to any. They're here to BLOG, post pictures of what they are having for dinner, say something random, or obsess about fucking Bitcoin.

It's like, built for people to talk about themselves and pretty much post about whatever they want THAT ISN'T TOPIC BASED.

In closing.

I'm sorry I complained this much. I know posts on the internet when someone bitches is really fucking annoying. If I was a developer and had that knowledge and skill set. I would fix nostr myself. But I can't.

Anyway, thank you for reading. I know I complain about this alot.

Its chaos for sure. I can understand your feelings here 🤙

Appreciate that

you should check out or follow the work of @npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr , he is making a client nostrudel.ninja . I believe he has the same desires for moderated communities, and is working on a client that could support this use case 🤙

It's also just a great client, imo

I just followed him, thank you for that. I really appreciate it.

I use nostrudle on the spring android app, bc I can't figure out how to login to the nostrudle PWA that I installed from Chrome on my phone.

Using it on spring is ok. Just kinda cluttered and compact.

I spent a lot of time posting and creating communities ppl can participate in yesterday. But no one is using them.

So, there isn't much of anything to interact with right now. Which is really fucking lame and disappointing.

Why do you think no one is interested in creating or posting in communities here?

What do you think?

its just too new (not only nostr, but clients with community functionality is new within nostr), unfortunately you'd probably need to be willing to bootstrap it pretty hard..engaging individuals on here, getting people in other social media to cross over, fostering the community as the tools are being built in real time. It could be a very long time before it looks like reddit, but it would be incredible and way better if one did it on this protocol and not one that is completely captured 🤙
