I am talking a lot about wss://relays.land/spatianostra recently, not just for the feed itself but for the idea. The dynamic voting concept has serious potential to diversify feeds by the general ethos/politics/interests of any set of users. That becomes really powerful as Nostr relay browsing gains client-side momentum. Communitoloes can form more organically.

The spatianostra feed itself is simply an example of an easily accessible, non-capturing, curated feed. It is not controlled by anyone, just guided. We've tailored towards giving those new to Nostr a welcoming place to browse & discover nice content & people, because there has been a need for that. Try to imagine other feeds composed of high-signal information or mostly [insert any political slogan here] or a completely different feel, like the #⭕️ , all available in a click or two, with curation being a low-barrier action for participating voters.

There is lots of room for competition in creating unique feeds that users enjoy browsing. Eventually, there will be more incentive to earn placement in various feeds as well. There needs to be more stuff like this to showcase some of what makes Nostr unique and to provide people with options. The wide-open part has proven to work pretty well. And spatianostra is helping to prove that you can take chunks out & not effect that openness at all. It's not a walled garden, it's a nice little picnic spot on this vast & beautiful planet. That might be a cheesy analogy, but I bet you can't scroll that feed and honestly tell me that I'm wrong. 😅

its such a great idea - because this is the potential for inter/intra relay communities, moving beyond the all (relay pool/prebiotic soup) or nothing (1-relay-1-community island) vision of nostr that has manifested AND with no crazy relay setting because the relay.

Exactly! Your posting style is a perfect example of why this is so brilliant. It might be heavy prog metal, or highly intellectual discussion, or your dog (🥰🫠😂) ... same person, different aspects of you... that may resonate with different types of people. It fractals out from there.

nostr:nprofile1qqsdcnxssmxheed3sv4d7n7azggj3xyq6tr799dukrngfsq6emnhcpspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wghxcctwvshs6dhdqa if you happen to come across anyone who might be interested in putting attention into getting a separate dynamic voting instance going, please let fiatjaf know. It would be great to have a comparative example & another browsable feed. I'm having a hard time thinking of anyone who would have the wherewithal & foresight to establish it with a different focus than the spatianostra group has. It really should be a completely different social circle, so the content doesn't just equalize into a replica right away. Nostr might just be too small yet, but I think it's better to have multiple people with their mind on the subject, in case a fitting scenario should arise.

Nostr's still quite a tight nit community - so I agree, not just yet. But we're working on it 🙂

Yeah. I just wanted to plant that in your mind because you're on my short list.😊
