The Pubky app has one thing that at least looks interesting: this tagging stuff with words.

It's the only useful feature of NIP-32 that is underexplored on Nostr.

Thinking about it's very similar to what people have been doing with emoji reactions here and in many other apps, except for the fact that emoji reactions are stupid, undecipherable and useless and emojis are one of the lamest inventions of the internet.

Also self-tagging posts is stupid, it's much better to allow yourself or anyone else to add tags after the fact instead of requiring the post creator to somehow figure out the best tags forever for their post at creation time.

But, again, even with NIP-32 tagging of posts we still cannot do "trending tags" or "hashtag feeds" without relying on relay native filtering capabilities, otherwise it will always be a slugfest.

By indexing all the homeserver(s) data that it cares about the semantic social graph we use is going to be crazy powerful, and not just for our app or social media. Spam will be easy to control for example.

Do they also only have one company managing all the source code or have they actually decentralized from themselves?

1) Label a publication 2) Target that Label event to specific Communities πŸ‘‰ best kind if Crossposting / retweeting there is

Agreed. For example, we have a gazillion reposts and shares adding the asknostr tag around here. That’s interesting, and I’m curious to see how well community self-moderation of tags, Γ  la Stack Exchange, will work in the context of general social media. This might be a point of contention, b...

You do realize that tags are being used extensively in other kinds, right? And that instead of having all these crazy different kinds, it would be more useful and way simpler to just have a bunch of tags on notes. I think that is my one basic critique of the nostr protocol.
