The feed problem as @PABLOF7z mentioned on several occasions got me thinking lately.
Can't stop wondering communities can fix that too.
It is more relevant and not global by default, therefore it's easier to implement:
- Smarter, simpler algos and search
- Non-spammy digests as notifications
- Well-defined borders and therefore easier connection with the rest of nostr (whatever that means)
- Easier moderation
- ... any problem is more soluble that I can think of
The only use-case I can think of that benefits from a feed is marketplaces. The user is inherently more goal-oriented and data is inherently less noisy, only contains the bare necessities. So it's still simple to handle, regardless of abundant data.
So more liquidity on marketplaces actually makes user choice easier, while more social type of posts from a wide variety users is inherently disruptive to people seeking signal.
Social use cases: less is better, from selected people
Marketplaces: more is better, feed is justified, don't really care about people just their reputation in the marketplace context
Thoughts?
