Tags can easily be hijacked by spam and questionable images

start.njump.me offers suggested follows that you can uncheck (including npubs added by whoever sent you the link). This seems like the obvious way to let users start with default follows without confusing them re: where they came from.

Is that a serious question? Just ask the user if they want to automatically follow 150 people so they can say “no”

I would suggest not assuming a person is a Twitter pro once they sign-up. I was missing a simple web page intro on Primal home page.

I think we need starer packs

I can see why an auto-follow list is implemented/..it’s the initial impression the end-user gets and plays a huge factor in determine whether the app is worth their continued attention. BlueSky has Starter Packs (essentially users bundled by shared interests) that a user can select to kickstart a curated feed. Maybe worth looking into. Also may want to consider letting the new user opt in to something where they can get a halo around their pfp to denote they’re new. Might help drive interaction. Just some ideas. Curious, I would think that notifications also play a huge role in retention/stickiness — why aren’t those available on the iOS app? :)

It’s fine as it is. What’s the issue exactly? The user does not feel in control on the most hand-holding app? cry harder

auto-follow all the bitcoin meetups, promote irl 😅

This is a very pertinent question! And particularly, in the past I could even find this suggestion strange and bad. However, when approaching a simple line of thought, I come to the conclusion that it is for a softer setting, being better than having an empty room. But I would like to read some suggestions.
