 I suggest making a test page with a throw  away npub to see how it populates because no deletes. Make a map of the website you want where each subdomain is a different hashtag.  
 Just saw that I'm on the front page. 😏 
 lol, that should get you free custom urls if I were your nostr agent  
 We started monitoring servers and my new npub apparently gets looked at by hundreds and sometimes even thousands of people, but I can't tell, from my end. From my end, it's just 🦗 🦗🦗🦗

Feels like it's just me and the same 10 people I always talk to. 
 Nostr can feel incredibly lonely. I'll spend hours writing an article and get 5 responses and it's like.... stuff like that got hundreds of thousands of views on Twitter and I was shadowbanned and regularly locked out of my account. LOL  
 Is it that big a deal, at this time?

It doesn't seem to find any notes from me, even though I can see them on Nostr.Band. 🤷‍♀️  Can you see notes in yours? 
 No notes. Maybe there is a relay issue?  
 Testerin lol 
 I thought it pulls from band? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
 Hhm. And you defined what hashtags you wanted in the dashboard and then used them in your test note? 
 Yes, #Alexandria. I checked to make sure the box was clicked in the drop-down.

 It looks like the only post with Alexandria hashtag is a reply. We don't pull replies - only root posts. Also it's not fetching from nostr.band - it's using your outbox relays. If you remove the hashtag filter some notes are showing up.  
 Okay, what do I have to do, to get this one to display? Is there some menu, someplace?

 No it's not about "homepage tags", it's about "content filters" - filters which events are included on the site. 
 Yes you can select for kinds and hashtags under content filters, so if you eventually wanting this for lonng form then select that. For testing you may just want notes. 

But on the test sites I've made, I left the hashtag box empty under content filters and only selected notes. 

Then down in nav and homepage I added the hashtags.  
 Go to https://npub.pro/admin, click on your site, click Settings, find "Content filters" section, remove "Alexandria" hashtag. 
 Ah, okay, now I see something! 🥳 
 Awesome! 
 That makes it so every note is published to the website though right? 

I use the homepage hashtags so every shitpost isn't sent to a website. I use the hashtags to only publish specific notes. 🤷‍♂️

Then I added other hashtags in nav so that a note will both land on home page and also be organized by topic on nav. 

ex:
i shit post and inlcude no hashtags associated with website so it won't be published there

i note about #vehicle and it lands on homepage 

i note about #vehicle and #truck an it lands on homepage and subdomain truck. So that once on homepage about vehicles you can nav to just trucks.

 
 That's clever. I think I'm going to do that, too. Easier.

No selfies or whining posts or complaints about burning the steak. 😂 Only best of Stella. 
 Yeah, the website is for things you want on website. Not just a copy of nostr as a url imho.

 I'm sorry for the confusion, but it seems like you're doing it wrong @. 

To decide what's included on the site you use "Content filters" - you should specify your hashtags there. Only posts with those hashtags will be pulled into the site. All of them will be included on the homepage.

But some people want to be even more selective even more with their homepage, i.e. "posts with #bitcoin and #nostr should be somewhere on my site, but homepage should only show #nostr". Then you go to "Homepage settings" and choose #nostr there - posts with #bitcoin will still be visible on the site, and you can i.e. add /tag/bitcoin to navigation to direct people there.

Does this make sense? 
 Yes.
