I don't dislike the idea of algorithms, I just never found one that really worked. Not even the YouTube algo works for me.

Follow-based feeds work. But it gets old quick. The secret is finding new communities to belong. Not necessarily in a NIP-29/Discord way. But communities nevertheless.

When you build a follow list, you are essentially assembling a community for yourself. You mark the people you want to engage with. Nostr is still a single community.

Maybe Clients need more of that "Follow list building magic". Or maybe communities will be formed around apps, like Olas is doing right now. Maybe we need different nsecs for different communities...

Maybe the whole point of Nostr identities is to build, discard it and start again.

Maybe multiple identities is the natural state of life. And Nostr is just the vehicle to make them digital...

what clients need to do is deprecate kind 3 and support named follow lists, and use algorithms to filter out lower quality notes

I am building this at https://nostr.thecaptain.dev

Yep, we to that as well. But building lists is annoying. I wish a client would build them automatically.

I think that's where the grapevine idea can come into play. after a few people bootstrap some lists, clients could that automate some of the list generation process
