Hey did you know most relays don’t support the nip-50 search which means that search isn’t working well on Nostr? We need to make search better and perhaps help users make sure they’re connected to at least some search supported relays. Otherwise nostr feels broken and empty.
I think this is because strfry is so good at most relay tasks it has come to dominate, but it doesn’t do search. That’s not what it’s optimized for.

What is the search usecase on #nostr ? I thought world had moved to large language models -:)
What are so mentioned relays for search ?

One of the goals of swarmstr is to make nostr search better.
