I disagree - global feed was how I built up most of the people I follow.
Hashtags are helpful but can be easily misused & while global is not very uplifting & can be sometimes acerbic, especially with videos/image auto-preview off it's still useful to gather what's being discussed across the world. (Sometimes even spam is not boring)
Just joking but you could follow the hashtag #spam if that’s what you like 😂
I see - though I wonder how much longer that will be possible. I expect the spam problem will get a lot worse at some point. When there's like 10000 spam posts for every real human it will be a defacto arms race between spam-generating AI and spam-detecting AI. Fortunately we can use PoW notes to tilt the balance in favor of the defenders. We're lucky to be part of early nostr where it's still niche enough that we can find each other!
Is this what your client satiate is trying solve?

It's one of the things I'm working on, yeah.
I have this theory that nostr might be one of the only organic networks left standing in the AI spam-pocalypse
If your feed only contains the people you follow plus the people they follow. Then that is typically 20,000 pubkeys and no spam.
Follow the math.
