Thank you! A worldwide craft fair is a much more different description than anything involving protocols and relays. I came here to write, but I’m beginning to suspect I’ll be staying for the people. Speaking of people, how do you know if you’re talking to a human or to a bot? What’s the social etiquette here, given that so many people use pseudonyms and anonymous profile pictures? Is it acceptable to ask someone their age, gender (I’m not sure if that’s acceptable to ask in real life either), where they live, etc? Also, thank you for the #asknostr tip! I’ve already used that but is there somewhere I can find commonly used hashtags, particularly ones related to learning about Nostr and its culture? I’d like to familiarize myself with the local customs.

The hashtag thing is mostly organic. Just try searching terms and see what you can find, or ask others if they know anything about a topic. It doesn't have to be more complex than this.
Whether or not hashtags are useful depends a lot on which client you're using. Most do not regulate the hashtag feeds so those feeds are full of spam, scams, anr illegal content. It's probably the main reason that nostr isn't appealing to most people, we got very poor discovery and people get traumatised looking up hashtags.
