A single follow list is less useful. Multiple lists for categorization would be better. Yourself and Vitor being in the same list as my shit posting buddies doesn't make sense sometimes. If I did want to see everything it would be easy enough to have a "show all lists" option.
Discussion
yeah maybe we should cap follows at 100 and then after that follow should ask what list you want to put them in. Makes more sense from a protocol perspective to do it this way
💯 And from a real life sort of way
-Family contacts
-Work contacts
-baseball team
-school friends
Etc.
All contacts, but I communicate with them for different reasons and in different ways.
This should be the cap:
I agree. I took the bad advice of following as many people as possible for an active feed when I first joined Nostr, and now curating it down to a manageable number is a pain.
Me too. I followed back every npub that followed me…big foul. Now, gonna be a nightmare to cull, so I just mute/block, it unfollow as it becomes indicated.
This is all great feedback. Thanks guys and bees
💯
Now I try to follow for quality interactions, slowly weeding out those I never interact with, who just add noise in my feed.
Also threads like this one, where I may find npubs to follow that are not interested in following me, but I follow for educational reads re #nostr, #bitcoin , etc.
Yeah, this is where categorized lists would be great. Sometimes I want to read about a topic, and there are people I would like to follow for that, but I don't need to see them all the time. It would let you build your own self selected communities in a way.
Was really thinking about that specific topic last night and am hurting from it.
Probably no other way than to go unfollow a bunch of people
Sounds fair. Gonna be rough on folks like Jack, tho.
