Nostr Web Client

Even without the spam/porn, a firehose global feed is just too much meyhem to be useful. In my opinion, the best default setup is:

1. A view for just posts from your follows

2. A view for posts + replies from your follows

3. A “discover” view that shows you the most liked posts of the day, or something to that effect

TLDR: The best way for the user-facing part of the client to avoid spam is to only show posts from your follows and a leaderboard for global.

But then recent posts that still don't have likes don't show up right?

Right, the idea is that posts will still get likes from the people already following them, and so this discover tab would let you see liked posts that you otherwise wouldn’t, because you don’t follow that person.

I understand. So to have a good score on discovery the profile must have a large network of followers who are very interactive.

Well it can be designed so that only users you don’t follow show up in the “top posts” of discover, so that it helps give a chance to accounts that aren’t followed by a ton of people already. Good point!
