I mean: suppose I like baseball and I dwell in two or three baseball relays. Then I should be able to share something to my baseball fan friends that makes them click a link and be automatically inside these baseball relays as their "global" feed the first time they open the app. Then they can start following people and learning about other relays later.

What if someone is on Nostr for sake of anonymity? Most apps require data of user, while nostr doesn't. Most apps regulate the feed based on user preferences, which means every user has a profile, a category. With categorisation comes discrimination. A random approach probably would make one feel a little lost, but aren't we all travellers on a scavenger hunt anyway? A mixed tribe doesn't make one feel left out, unless they are too fixated in their niche and consider everything else imaginary.
I like your idea. What if something like this is also done for common knowledge? Something like what was shared by the developers.
One of the great virtues of Twitter, from my point of view, are the networks of shared knowledge: technology, economics, science, political science, etc. Each of them has a particular and common language.
shared knowledge* (not common)
I was thinking in Spanish again 🙄
I don't get what you mean by shared knowledge. How is Twitter a network of shared knowledge?
In economics, for example. There are a lot of academics that share their work, opinions, give feedback to others, etc. They even recommend each other. It’s not explicit but is there.
Economics have their own language. You know almost instantly the mental frame or the school of thought through that.
Language seems the natural path to build communities, at least at the beginning
Very good idea.
Yes, I think this is the easiest and most efficient way to assist people to share, and see all the content they want to and then see all the content and content providers within their chosen topic. It is also in one place “global” so people don’t have to worry about hunting around here, there and everywhere for chosen content.
This is the way.
I wrote this back in June. I still think this can onboard millions without them even knowing it’s Nostr.
Imagine if the “Mobile app” for the Audubon Society is really just a Nostr client (with some extra stuff) that points to their relay.

Yeah, invite codes with pubkeys and relays baked in would be awesome for new users, even on twitter-like clients
