Advanced Search
Primal has the most advanced search of ANY social media. We built this tool early in order to give users more control over how they view content on Nostr. You can create & save feeds based on many metrics.
The feeds you save can be reordered to your liking. To access advanced search in the app, click on the search icon in the top right of the app twice.
Here are some of the metrics you can use to create feeds:
