Turns out when I am the algorithm the feedis a disaster. Cleansing my timeline of certain hashtag and unfollowing certain content has been helping. Genuinely felt like twitter for me this week with lots of doom news stories and Bitcoin price discussion. I just want to hear about what people are growing in their yard, chickens and cows. In fact I think I could manage with something like #onlyfarms as my solo feed source 😂
Discussion
*chuckles in snow on the frozen ground until May*
But I don't talk about doom or bitcoin prices...
Sounds like you need to start a brutal “unfollowing purge”
My approach:
- first if nothing has been posted in 4 weeks, then not active, and can unfollow
- 2nd: if I don’t see any recent posts I value, then unfollow
- 3rd: if the account re-appears in the future, then you can re-follow, and the energy has re-aligned
4th: (and this is really just for me, but I wonder if anyone else gets it) don’t worry about other peoples expectations as a follower. They’ll get over it. Aim to get what you actually want
🙏🏻
Ps - I totally agree that I am looking for real stories from real people

Yeah the last week has been brutal.
I agree it's the negativity & anger that I really don't like. It leaves me feeling heavy.
I'm going to create a carefully curated & encrypted follow list for my own benefit. I used to rely on the for circumventing the algorithm on Twitter (until they broke it).
Ok so how do you make lists? That sounds like what I need too
https://listr.lol/ is the only way I know how at the moment.
If you're creating a big list, save every now & then. I've gotten 20 odd npubs deep & then accidentally moved away from the page. Very frustrating.
I shared some beautiful snowy outdoors videos this morning. And yes, definitely some gloomy, sad news all over x 😔
