Nostr Web Client

Can you please add an option to switch your "algorytm" off? I want to read exactly these notes and articles that was written by all accounts I follow. Not more, not less. Now I can see in my following feed only accounts which profiles I viewed directly. The algorytm decide that only that accounts are interesting to me and not show me events from other accounts. Of course you may think that such shadowban politic is very useful for most users, but please give me a freedom to switch it off.

You want Nostria to automatically connect to all relays of all you are following and grab the latest events?

Do you want the 5 latest, even if they are old, or everything last few days? If only latest, it means it will make many connections, but maybe find posts from 10-20% of those you follow. Then sort those by date, or would you like to see 1 event from each of those you follow?

Using the algorithm to pick a smaller set, means we can load 20-50 events for you to view as you open the app.

If we connect to all your following, let's say you have 300, that means we'll grab potentially 1500 posts (5 from each). You cannot potentially read all of these in one go anyway. This will drain battery quicker on mobile phones, but can of course be made to be an option.

Another question: What about order in which to connect to your following, should it maybe have these options:

1. Algorithm (Ascending)

2. Algorithm (Descending)

3. Only Favorites

4. Followed (Ascending)

5. Followed (Descending)

6. Random

If we do random, and connect to 10 of your following, you would always see very different events each time you reload. That might be a good feature?

Algorithm (descending) means we could go grab events by people you have least interaction with, to find content that might randomly be of value to you.

The problem with Algorithm is that it will not show me new notes from the account that had not written for a long time. No notes in the past -> no interaction in the past -> no interaction in the future. So it is absolutely the same as I not follow this account.

The best way for me is to see strictly chronological feed of all followed accounts' events. If someone wrote something year ago, I must scroll my feed for a year to see the event. But if someone did not write for a year and then write something, I must see this event immediately as I refresh the feed.

All another Nostr clients do this. Twitter with its Algorithm switched off do this. It's absolutely natural order. If I see that my 300 foolowed accounts eats my battery too fast and I can't read them all, I will simply unfollow some of them.
