Is there a way to downgrade the frequency of certain posters in my feed?
I want to keep them in my feed, but they post SO much that it drowns everything else out. Iβd love it if they posted 1/3rd as often π

Also curious about something like this. Even a mute for an hour would work.
Guy, nooooooo π’ π
Post "STFU" on 2/3rds of their notes and see how they take it.
Sadly some of my mutes are of those who post like a machine and boost all of their notes
Iβve been thinking about the same thing. Maybe it could be implemented in a way that frequency could be set per public key you are tracking. If they post more than that frequency it just collapses them into one post displayed to the user. Would have a little number on the corner of the post indicating your configured frequency threshold and how many posts are collapsed. This feature would work great for some of the meme accounts my client tracks.

My method was to create lists that narrow down the feed. I think you can also have someone on a list without following them. So you can check the list for their posts but not see them in your feed.
This is actually the main reason I mute people, besides the obvious spam bots. I try to remember to later unmute them, but sometimes forget and then people get butt hurt because they notice theyβve been muted. ππ My preferred solution would be a temporary βmute for x-hoursβ option, where they are then automatically unmuted afterwards.

follow more peeps to drawn it out, more is less. π
Used to have this in coracle, maybe I'll bring it back
Silencing until next hour, day, etc. would be super useful. It doesnβt need to be public just a client side thing.

Iβve unfollowed people for this, not because I donβt like their content, theyβre just too damn prolific π
π
Nice π₯ Would be very useful.
We do get carried away sometimes and unfollowing feels like a nuclear option.
Mute them instead
Primal fixes this π
There was an etiquette in early Twitter. Then the algorithm quietly downplayed the frequent posters so they didnβt spam everyone, allowing them to post non-stop.
Muting is sooooo offensive
How about max posts per hour option.
Dont show in my feed more than 4 posts from 1 npub/h and a slider to adjust.
why not just collapse selected users posts into just one big note in a certain period of time, that you could expand.
user X posts in the last 1 hour π»
the temporary mute could be an additional layer, but itβs psychologically more negative
Lists. Add them to lists. Then you can activate when you are up for the 1000s of posts a second.
They will not know...
Iβm sorry, @Guy Swann β¦ youβre talking about me, right?
Seriously though, we just need more people here. π
Who dis new mute list
Lists are cool but they take time to manage
Add them to lists. One more reason to not call your contact list a "follow list". We will get there on day :)

I don't think frequency is the issue.
If I use nostr for 15 minutes per day, I will post all my notes in that small 15 minute window.
For people that follow me and that check their feed at that time, it may look like spam since all they see is suddenly maybe 8 notes from me.
Maybe it would be a good idea to have client-side scattering of notes throughout the day so that they are not so clustered.
I thought so,... so I have explicitly offended many.
first note in that hour
show more π»

show less πΊ
Oh btw is Amethyst the only client that supports listr.lol ?
This βοΈ. I would also like "quiet" posters to be shown more prominently in my feed. Some people just post a couple of notes per week but they're π₯, and they get drowned out by the sheer volume of other posts so that I easily miss them
#nostrdev
In Snort, muting is public but blocking is private. But yeah, both is worse than unfollowing as you wouldn't see them even if others replied them.
I rely on on catching their content via reposting from people.
You donβt necessarily want to unfollow someone but just tone down a conversation you have no interest in.
Profile Lists fix this. They're just not at all integrated in most clients.
Categorizing users needs to be waaaay easier. Instead of a follow button, you should just quickly be able to checkmark what list you want a user to be part of, for example.
Next, selecting what users you see what "kind" of content from needs to be superfluid as well. (currently, working on designs for this)
Then throw DVM curation in the mix and LFG!

Same
Just made every Nostrich self conscious about their frequency π
Posting too much is woman behavior.

β¦an algorithm?
Itβs your account Iβm talking about π€£
This might be my best strategy actually, lol. I just try to be very deliberate about my follow list, but maybe I need to let that go.
How did you know!? π
ππ
Oh no, lol. I need to do the opposite. I need all the other accounts to be posting *more,* not have them be worried about posting too much π€£
Ok for the record then, itβs #[3]β and #[4]β that inspired this. I really like the accounts, but sometimes Iβm scrolling through my feed and it feels like thisβ¦

You do t hold a grudge against ignorance. How would that be? 
just mute him ... i did the same π«π
Oi! We all know that nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpccould be ghey sometimes but what's wrong with #memes or AI generated images?
Coracle has them as well I believe.
I really like this idea actually. Would be cool to see #[7]β posts as a single post where I could maybe just scroll left and right to look through the images as if they posted them in a single note. π€
This π
Some time ago in the Gossip group I wrote:
> I was thinking about another function that I think could be interesting: a mode to show only one "row" for every user every X time, for ex. 1 hour. If a user post several notes in the give timeframe they are "stacked" in the same row showing a counter, and clicking it I can see all the notes, maybe using the user feed and visually applying a filter.
This way I can have a more clean view of who is participating without having some people flood the feed.
Then today I added:

More Nostr will grow, and these tools will be really important to let people control the content they are going to consume.
And it seems I'm not the only one who thinks this:

Politely ask them to post less
We are reading each other's minds, "nostr" effect :)

is this because of @Derek Ross ? π
@Damus has this option in universe feed, not main feed
This will be a necessary algorithm. Some people boost way too many posts and their boosting loses meaning. Sometimes you follow someone for their interest in one subject but don't want to see every single thing they post. The main issue at the moment is that with less than 10,000 daily active users and falling (tell me if this is wrong), NOSTR does not need anymore "features" or anymore development at all. NOSTR desperately needs a PR campaign to get more users quickly. NOSTR cannot be successful and will lose badly without more users. #grownostr
I bet it could be a client feature pretty easily.
What about adding a queue? Tumblr lets you set it up so you can queue your posts/reblogs so one goes out every so many minutes/hours.
This is part of the more general idea of selecting from a variety of open source algorithms.
yeah agreed, a carousel would be nice
I knew it β¦
True
I've been thinking of a slider bar when I look at someone's profile that is MY setting for them. Starts in the middle. If they don't post much but it's high quality then I can move it up, too much (like lots of side comments) and I can can slide it down. Unfortunately I don't code. π
I feel that algorithms you select from & control will be the answer. Some of the user-controlled tools Primal is rolling out might be helpful. @miljan, can you elaborate on what's available already?

I have an idea. Add a bunch of algos that social media sites use to Nostr, but let users decide which one to use and how.
Maybe an aggregate post for people who post more than a user-specified amount of posts?
Worth the effort for me already, but yes, clients should make lists mgmt a bit easier and efficient. Right now an easy improvement for me would be that #Amethyst and #Coracle used the same kind to store and display lists. I have to keep lists duplicated in different kinds (30000 vs 30001) to be able to use them in each one of them.
I create lists & view posts from lists as my mood dictates.
My All follows view is pretty noisy but lists make it pleasant.
Listr.lol
Same! I feel that way with HN bot
But walker America is greatπ
This is great. Yes, agreed. Need this.
How-to determine which posts are relevant to you?
