Nostr is brutal for anyone outside of the USA time zones because most users are looking at Primal Recommendation List, as their main follows, and that's almost all Americans.
So, when those few people don't post, the chronological feed freezes. There's no incentive to use Nostr during other times, anymore.
You also have to cater heavily to Americans, to get those people to boost your stuff, so that anyone else can see it.
We always joke around about the tumbleweeds during the EU time zone, but nobody talks about the cause of it.
Do you think a personalized Recommended list would help with this problem? I presume Primalβs Rec list is still a global one.
Yes, it's a global one. At least, on Primal.net.
But, they'd inevitably tweak a personalized list to always recommend their short list.
What Utxo and Will are building is more future-oriented.
How about a personal WoT relay, controlled by the user, that provides the rec list. The client provides the UX. If the client starts tweaking rec lists, youβll know it.
Yeah, I have a private relay and I administer wss://theforest.nostr1.com
Nice ππ»
If you could add any WoT-related features to relay tools on top of its current functionality, what would you ask for?

Nothing. He's drowning in my feature requests, already. π
ππ wot #soon anyway π±
if you add #realy to your deployment options you can have a depth 2 WoT out of the box and designate a small list of nostr:npubs whose follow lists designate level 1 and then as you can gather the follow lists of those users you can create level 2, which i would call "guests" it's a model i have given the working title "friends and guests" and it's like WoT but without the retardation of fuzzy boundaries
