 Primal users in a walled garden, they don’t got access to all of nostr, just the primal approved cached version primal serves up.

Move to a real nostr client, instead of a lightning wallet with social networking! 
 Whoa. I didn’t know this. I have mainly been using Primal. Well, damn. The wallet and zapping function being built  right in is so damn good, though. It’s the feature that got me more connected. 
 searching is a bit of a mess
bookmarking is a bit of a mess
live in the present moment 
 Live in the present moment of previously cached notes served up by your primal influencers. 
 Social media in general is never very good in search
the whole purpose is to have you stay searching for hours
at least here on #nostr there is no ads 
Otherwise you know why the other platforms want you to keep scrolling for hours after that special thing you briefly had seen a couple of minutes ago, or worse a very interesting article you had seen 6 months ago  
 Search issues are wholly separate from primal only serving up the content they cache and “approve” 
 What clients do you use? 
 Damus, Nostur, on iOS. Nostrudel and Corny Chat on web browser.

I hear Amethyst is used on Android, or use the nostrudel as a web app, I hear it works pretty well like that.
