You can say anything on Nostr ... because the search is broken and no one will ever find it again!

It's definitely yelling into the void, besides a few big names
I mean bro, have you used the search in these apps? I am just a user trying to use this thing...
Inspired me to share what I was already thinking to share - makes it more fun knowing it’s cathartic over trying to go viral 😂
It's actually propagation and shadowbanning problems. If you nadar your posts, you might find as I did that they are reaching maybe 5% of existing relays!
It really is not. I have been primarily trying to use Primal for months on desktop and mobile. There are multiple issues making it not serve everyday use. I often go to other apps to try and get other results. Each app fails to find some things, fails to return anything at all sometimes, and requires tricks to work at all. It probably isnt just a primal issue, could be data propagation, etc. But sincerely, it is far from solid for someone trying to use it daily.
Here is mine. It shows only posts made from that account, note the 7month gap. That post i replied to today, shown at the top of the screenshot, from bfgreen, i could not find it searching 3 different nostr apps image
If i pull it up on desktop it is just broken a different way anyway
Here is another, showing some settings and the output. Premium feed? It is a narrower search with few returns!
It is totally broken for some people, so I won't be referring to it as solid, but I understand why you would.
I am sorry your search is broken, but i dont think me explaining the invite code strategy will fix it! Do you still want to learn more about it?
Still learning a bit about the differences. Got a video on DHT queued up for future viewing. Tagging is cool for sure. Enjoy your pot stirring smh
I am using Nostr apps, not running anything myself. I assume Primal, Damus, etc, handle any connectivity and indexing needed.
