Since we don't have feed algorithms to bring content forward and our community is relatively small compared to other major social platforms, it's best to follow a lot of npubs. When I say a lot, I mean a lot. If you're only following a couple hundred people here, you're going to think Nostr is a ghost town.

im definitely not following enough!!!!
Work hard. We don't have a whole lot of noise here, so most follows will be a lot of signal.
I see that you are following 1300 npubs 😃
Do you know if there is a way, in Amethyst or any other Nostr app, to automatically start following everyone who someone else is following?
Like, if I wanted to copy your following list...
With listr.lol I believe. You'd just copy my contact list.
Thank you, great, I will try when I'm at my PC.
From the phone, Listr requires a sign-in with extension and I don't have any working extension on mobile.
I'm not even sure if there is any.
Nos2x?
I got Alby extension to work on mobile on Firefox.
I even sent some sats to Alby wallet and sent some zaps from it via Primal and Snort via Alby extension.
That worked. It's actually incredible to see how I can use the same identity in different apps.
I logged in to Listr using Alby. Another success.
But I don't know how to copy someone's list still...
I tried, I found Derek, but I don't know how to copy his list...
I did that and ran into this…
Ouch. I didn't know Damus had this issue.
Yep. Unfollowing EVERYONE and selectively rebuilding your following list isn’t fun!
A year ago or so, I had my follows nuked because of a rogue client. I just visited nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m 's profile via Snort and tapped the follow all button 😂
🤣 That works too!
Agreed. You need to follow many at first.

first post in my feed gets the sats today this was ot
Me with 169 follows. 
You can also create a list of creators on a particular theme and view that instead of all follows. In case you want to have a little more control. I did this recently with Listr and Amethyst to view. No sure all clients allow this. #nostrtip #protip
Also check who’s following you and follow back 🫂
I don’t get notifications when people follow me, so it’s hard to keep us with this
I just made a post in #nostr about the algorithms that drive content and that help many people interact with it giving a feeling of “belonging” to a community.
Besides a couple clients that have trending algorithms on the sidebar, we don't have feed algorithms beyond the ones we make for ourselves - yet. 2024 will be the year of the Nostr Algorithm Store!
I can't choose who follow by myself, Wen bring algo on nostr 🙃
I'm not really interested in 100 bitcoiners vs 1000 bitcoiners all from western backgrounds.
What potentially makes Nostr powerful is the ability to integrate me into communities I otherwise would be excluded from due to cultural differences and language barriers. That is the shift in human interaction that can lead to an exponential growth in innovation. I should see all messages in my native language preference and translate back to original format if ever required.
I don't just want to scale more of the same I'm hunting for an intellectual and cultural melting pot.
i like this, translation is one of the simplest things LLMs can do and i'd damn well subscribe to read them, like yesterday!
I've been opting to follow hashtags. It seems more interesting to me.
Your post is being shared.
Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed
What’s the best way to find people? I’ve followed some hashtags and look through the explore page.
Yep, discovery is an issue. I’ve mostly found people through hashtags
Can confirm, I only follow a handful and this is the case. I'm starting over from 0 though. My old key I had more.
Agree, but how do you balance making it not feel like a ghost town and also making it interesting content.
