I really dislike that when you open @primal you immediately see trending in the past 24 hours
And it is always the usual suspects:
Odell shouting about something political, pysop-y or “the current thing”.
Lyn coz ya know, it’s Lyn

I’ve unfollowed a lot of these trending types and tried to mute some of them yet they still appear.
Can you make it so when you open @primal it goes straight to your feed?
And if I mute someone can they not appear in trending?
Ps primal is great for zapping and it’s my daily driver.

Yes, you can reorder the views to make the one you use the most the default. Agreed that it’s very unintuitive 😅
Hey Joe,
There’s a job opening up for the position of
Bitcoin Head of Corporate Affairs, a position recently vacated by Michael Saylor.
You should apply. It has some great perks 👌
My personal account’s (this account’s) default view is set on the Latest.
However, our company account that follows less of other accounts is set by default on Trending. Dunno whether it has to do with the number of people you follow or whether it is adjustable. Would be curious to know. Please share the answer once you found it.
Amethyst working well for me mate.
Try #Amethyst Joe. I think they all have their quirks though. In #Amethyst there is a feature, Hidden Words. Write in which words you don't want to see and you don't see them!
Damus…
Reorder you feed


you're going to like the nostr algorithm
You can change the order in which you see posts. The default one should be the first one in the list!
Stop trying to game the trending charts Joe...
#coracle is better, and it has very customizable feed filters
You’re on to something with the mutes. I often change my mute words for a new experience.
have you tried using a real Nostr client instead?
Is primal not real …?
Ahaha this is genuinely a minor annoyance and I want it to change
Does it work with iOS?
Oh man, I don't think so, I'm not a user of the apple. I don't do Goolag either. I'm balanced like that.
on the desktop version of Primal you have the option to display 'most zapped' or 'trending'
On my Pc NoStrudel is my daily driver. On Android I use Amethyst. I don't have an Iphone but I guess I would use Damus.
Not enough functionalities with Primal and they don't support amber on android
Try @npub1n0st...k6h0 if you’re on iOS…
Why not simply use #Amethyst or #Damus 🤷🏻♀️
1) YOU CAN CHANGE THE FEED ORDER ON PRIMAL. EVEN DELETE TRENDING ALTOGETHER.
2) NEXT PRIMAL UPDATE WILL GIVE YOU EVEN MORE CONTROL INCLUDING A FEED MARKETPLACE WHERE YOU CAN EASILY ADD CUSTOM FEEDS.
3) THERE ARE MANY GREAT CLIENTS BESIDES PRIMAL.
4) BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
Try another client. One that doesn't still note... to ID events, without a rigged trending algo and one that gives you access to more than just short messages.
Mine defaults to "latest with replies" which is my least favourite view because all I see is the replies and not the original post. I prefer "latest" on primal. That being said I tend to use amethyst more lately
Hahaha very good
My bad. I did it now. Sorry for my morning rage 😇
no
Damus or Nostur fixes this🤙🏽
This post showed up in my trending...
In the web app you can configure your feeds in the settings
Oh you can actually configure your feeds on mobile too. There’s also a bunch other clients that default to following feed.
@PABLOF7z do you happen to know what it means that latest is greyed out as opposed to all the other feeds are red?


I totally ranted about the same a few weeks ago but nobody bothered to share that with me. Thanks for ranting. Now we can upgrade our feed experience.
Loooool 💀
if you don't like the algorithm, you can use different clients. that's (one of) the Magic of nostr :)
