Aye this is a problem. Without algorithms, which I don’t love, your feed is whom you follow and their reposts/quotes, which is a very limiting experience for many just getting started here. Notes like @nakad.aiπŸ”±πŸ¦πŸ›‘οΈπŸ―πŸ“Ώ pleb starter kit is awesome - and I encourage all nostrians to repost and quote their favorite notes from their fave follows to ensure plebs get a healthy feed built quickly. Makes #nostr much more sticky!

nostr clients need some kind of discovery stepping stone between β€œglobal” and β€œfeed”. I think this is a barrier to growth. The December wave navigated this together (at a time when global was readable), but more recent waves seem to suffer much greater user drop off. People are arriving in waves but are getting lost before they are able to follow 200+ people and build a good feed.

I think follows follows is a good intermittent set. If I follow 1 person, then my FF set might be 200 users. It also populates very rapidly but with diminishing returns due to increasing overlap. I think Follows Follows is also a good fit with the broader nostr philosophy, everyone would have a unique set.
