Oddbean new post about login | logout Welcome to Nostr!! Search around for hashtags (many times you’ll find whatever you’re looking for with “str” appended to the end ex: #artstr ) and see what other relays folks are using. There’s no Big Company here to feed you information or demand ID from you. If you have a question, just add #asknostr at the end of your post and you’ll get answers very quickly! If someone posts something that you don’t like, just Mute them. Enjoy your time!!
Sounds good, thanks. Thank you for the great help. What does the "str" stand for at the end of a search? Is it part for Nostr? And why does one need to add it to a hashtag?
As far as adding “str” to the end of a word, it’s just because it’s Nostr. There isn’t any deeper meaning, it’s the closest thing to a “trend” that exists here. Since there’s no algorithm to automatically sort and dispense information to you, we create our own categories and I suppose adding “str” was just something that someone started doing a couple years ago that people still do. That’s not to say that, for example, you have to add it, as in #art , which is a perfectly valid hashtag. I hope I wasn’t confusing in that explanation .
Interesting. Thanks.
