I think so 🤔
The 'Nostr News' account is basically an automated or bot account posting the RSS feeds of infowars, zerohedge and breitbart.
Whoever is behind that account can add another source of take away a source.
Just wondering how. And if there was a nostr world way of managing a nPub which did this 🤔. Or just generally.
Annoying question lol
But yeah I think that is what you said, basically making a nPub that functioned as a personal RSS reader 🤔
Hm I think it's basically pretty easy, use some existing code for RSS feed reading. If something new -> tell the bot to post a note. Win.
another interesting approach would be combining RSS feeds to make a timeline.
instead of pulling notes from relays, when you open your ‘algo’ feed, your client combines 10 RSS feeds i.e. top notes of the day, mentions popular movies, mentions xyz, which is made up of notes.
i’m kinda more interested in how nostr could build personalised feeds based off likes, and engagement like other platforms but it would be very difficult here.
Top liked on nostr can be a bit repetitive, as the primal trending tab shows. I wonder if say having a sort of likes as % of follows added as a factor would help.
Eg someone has 50k followers, posts something/anything and gets 70 likes. That is just a normal post. Someone with 300 followers makes a post that gets 20 likes, that is more of a post worth considering.
I suppose this is the theory behind 'zaps are the signal', but I'm not entirely convinced, I think it is often not that dissimilar to Read Receipt likes for bigger accounts.
Just an aside. But I like your idea:)👀
Wonder if these DVM feeds coming to amethyst will have something along these lines
