Day 5 of a normie. Feeling a bit disappointed with Nostr but increasingly fascinated by its people.
Would you agree that people use social media primarily for consumption and connection? If so, I think we’ve become extraordinarily good at producing and distributing content, but remarkably inefficient at discovering people worth knowing. Being visible is not the same as being known. Content can now be manufactured almost infinitely, and perhaps the next great opportunity in social media isn’t finding more to consume, but finding more people to connect with. For a protocol that could make human connection its greatest advantage, I find Nostr remarkably difficult to navigate socially.
Can I speak to the manager, please?
Is anyone working on browsable hashtag directories, both across Nostr and within individual profiles? I’m looking for discovery without having to know what to search for in advance. I just wanna choose a subject and click on it.
Freedom from an algorithm shouldn’t mean freedom from discoverability.
How hard is it to build that?

These would look great in the hashtag directory!
