Hey Nostr, we are working on improving the onboarding experience within Primal, and could use your help. Please shill us the best accounts to follow in the following categories: art bitcoin finance fitness food fun & memes gaming human rights music news nostr photography sports tech travel Also shill us any categories we didn’t cover that already have good content. Our criteria for suggested accounts to follow: the account needs to be actively posting high signal content on nostr. Our current working list is available below. Please tell us who we missed:
Listr
Listr is the best way to curate, organize, and discover everything that Nostr has to offer. Build new lists, stay organized, and browse collections.

Not shilling any categories yet, but I'm hoping that down the road, some of those categories (sports, news, art) will have enough content to justify breaking them into subcategories.

Thanks for these suggestions, but they appear to be replicas of Twitter, Mastodon, etc. accounts. We are looking for real nostr accounts, genuinely posting on nostr and engaging with other nostr users.

Instead of hardcoding starter accounts, we should work toward traversing lists/labels/topics based on WoT (maybe bootstrapped by a static list).

There is no WOT yet without starter auto-follows, or categorized suggested follows. Primal is rightly incrementally improving by going the latter. What I’d like to see on @Damus is a powerful search on onboarding that asks “what are you must excited about”. If the person types “knitting”, the dozen knitting profiles are returned with option to follow. cc @Niel Liesmons @Roberto

For sure, you always need to bootstrap. And Coracle currently uses static lists too, it's a fine first step. But it would be amazing to see these bootstrap lists turned into a "explore" tool which opens up the network based on dynamic trust networks.

This was my idea behind crowd funded classifications that are published publicly via labels. The problem is the classification work you’re asking for is expensive (if you use a 3rd party) or time consuming (to build it yourself) and nobody is willing to pay for it.

CONTEXT is one of the essential ingredients for getting WoT to work. Category-specific follows is one example of that.

So what you’re saying is that you’d like your WoT to help you curate the list of categories. And you’d like your WoT to curate a list of user accounts for each category. This is PRECISELY what DCoSL was built to do. The proof of concept already exists as a desktop app, and @Anton Strickland is doing excellent work rebuilding it as a webapp. Stay tuned!

Is that why my filter.nostr.wine relay keeps getting dropped on Coracle? I keep adding it, but it doesn't seem to work and eventually just disappears from the list.

The backend is strfry but we run our own custom proxy socket in front for AUTH and account management (not open source).

I’d like to put myself forward for art! I not only post about my pottery, I try to teach a little about the process when I do. I’ll put myself forward for food, as well. Probably food and art are my most consistent fields of original posts. More suggestions: (Non exhaustive lists, I might pop back in with more later, and more adds for other lists) Art: @Flo Montoya @Kanuto @Endcape🍌Banana Art🍌 @🟠 isolabellart @npub12rzu...hrv9 @karo @Lydia @Enrico Food: @TBone @ewelina @Queen ₿ I think that if art and photography will be separate categories, gardening/permaculture and nature could be considered separate as well. I would normally consider photography as part of art. But for photography and videography as distinct: @muneomi 📷 @Diego Valley @hes⚡️ @Nosnevets @HodlHomestead Bitcoin: @Guy Swann @Lyn Alden

i'm saying that it's an elephant in the room - free speech is fine but a reasonable layer of protection against access to privileged data - we here see a prisoner's dilemma that nobody wants to take the cost (a few days effort) to solve, which is abombinable

I think this won't change, until more people use SDKs. Everyone will just build the absolute minimum they need. The correct model is for them to only implement the minimum they need from the core library.
