It seems to me that one way to conceptualize online content is to divide it into durable vs ephemeral. Not completely isolated categories; more like two ends of a spectrum.
Nostr, as well as legacy social media like Twitter, are concerned primarily with ephemeral content. You’re on social media bc you want to have conversations with other users. Which means you’re a lot more interested in content that is new than content that is old. Which is why nostr feeds tend to be displayed in reverse chronological order.
But content that is “durable” is content that doesn’t automatically lose its value just because it’s aged. When you’re searching for durable content, you don’t want to see the results put in reverse chronological order, you want them sorted using some other metric.
Does nostr have a search engine that sorts results by relevance or importance rather than by age?
