If users are so obviously desperate for engagement that they will use something like Buzzbot, why haven't Nostr clients focused on developing better discovery mechanisms? #asknostr

My #1 complaint is not having a good discovery mechanism beyond the trending algos that just show big accounts
💯
Hopefully this spurs some development and competition. pay2trend is not the way.
But there's also no stopping it
Discovery mechanisms on Nostr are especially hard.
The client, if it's just a client (i.e. if the only servers it talks to are relays, and a mere HTTP/HTTPS just for hosting the client itself) doesn't have the whole database at its disposal. Each relay has different data and the Nostr protocol is limited. Finding good heuristics for discovery which can be implemented in a way which is efficient and fair is hard.
