Is there @npub1mkde3... some filter reducing what is visible in my disjunctive query? For example with the query from the settings:
"Search: #maths OR #math OR #Mathematics OR #CategoryTheory OR #Logic OR #RDF OR #SemWeb OR #scala OR #Agda OR #FP OR #SemanticWeb OR #topos OR #ScalaJS OR #Java OR #www OR #W3C OR #WebScience OR #hyperApp OR #Cognitive OR #CognitiveScience OR #Psychology"

The following page does not appear:
@note17gy2v... (not my preferred choice, but as I am trying to debug this functionality...)

Is there a limit to the length of the queries? I have the following in my settings
"Search: #maths OR #math OR #Mathematics OR #CategoryTheory OR #Logic OR #RDF OR #SemWeb OR #scala OR #Agda OR #FP OR #SemanticWeb OR #topos OR #ScalaJS OR #Java OR #www OR #W3C OR #WebScience OR #hyperApp OR #Cognitive OR #CognitiveScience OR #Psycholog" but when I query "#psychology" all alone I get a lot more answers on that topic than in the combined query.

If someone sponsors me, I’ll be happy to go to #Seville for #W3C #TPAC.
I have not been for a while.

Otherwise, I’ll follow some of the sessions online from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. #w3cTPAC @note1h3474...

I agree. Also one should be honest and say that
1. if you pay the experience on Twitter is much better than it ever was (longer posts, good video, interesting discussions, less spam)
2. #Mastodon is too prone to censorship via political activists putting pressure on admins for made up reasons
3. #Nostr is more censorship resistant, but is a lot smaller than Twitter and so it is quiet. But it allows notes in notes, has support for Markdown, etc…

I mean it would be good to be able to see the disjunctions of all the posts with tags and only the posts with tags I follow, as in #primal. I am trying to understand if I am actually capturing all the posts with those tags or perhaps missing some due to a social network filter perhaps…

It looks like in #damus one can follow a hash tag. Damus remembers these. But I can’t find a place where I can edit them or only see content with those tags - to see how lively a tag is.

I also tried the search without the # but that does not give any relevant results.

"Search: maths OR math OR Mathematics OR CategoryTheory OR Logic OR RDF OR SemWeb OR scala OR Agda OR #FP OR SemanticWeb OR topos OR ScalaJS OR Java OR W3C OR WebScience OR hyperApp"

Great! In Settings > Home Feed of the primal.net web app, I set the following home page search term
"#maths OR #math OR #Mathematics OR #CategoryTheory OR #Logic OR #RDF OR #SemWeb OR #scala OR #Agda OR #FP OR #SemanticWeb OR #topos OR #ScalaJS OR #Java OR #www OR #W3C OR #WebScience OR #hyperApp"
That gives a page of good results with an average of 7 a day.
That is perhaps good to help me get back to work.
Scrolling through those results, I found the following note on the symbol for OR .
Perhaps I'll put another set of political terms to get a more controversy laden feed of results I guess something like #Trans or #RFKJr OR ...

I was there in 1999 and it was the same: some good looking and some not so good looking naked people. But a lot of very good art. 
If you feel life is too tied down then it could be a good place to go to.
Nowadays the world has gone completely BurningMan, so going to church will make for more of a change of atmosphere :-)

Oh thanks! I tried lower case "or”!
That's very cool.
My feeling is that to get around here you have to follow your interests and then meet people you have friendly and hopefully stimulating discussions with.
