Monotonous Trending Algo in nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg ?

- I'd give them the benefit of an MVP.

You can iterate on algorithms pretty quickly and easily. The tricky part is to define what you want (and don't want) to achieve, and how to measure whether your changes are achieving exactly that.

I would expect progression like this:

1.0:

- More complex algorithm, driving more diverse engagement

- You can try to optimize for more nuanced engagement factors, and their combinations. (length of the comments; authors re-engagement in the threads; ...)

- Potentially you can pair it up with some Sectional breakdown of the "Trending" ("Pictures"; "Discussion-stirring topics"; "Memes of the day"; "GM notes"; "Most Zapped"; "Farmstr community")

2.0:

- You seperate the client from the trending algorithm control

- Enable each user to configure what sections (tabs) with what algorithms they want to see there (nudge in some defaults, but allow user-controlled overwrites)

- The "MySpace experience"

Yes, I was thinking of having the trending algos be configurable subscriptions.

Most Search Engines (Hotels, Jobs, Wikipedia, ...) have gone through the progression of being Feed-first to being Suggestion-first (section-first) for the returning users.

- It's hard to hit every users needs with a single feed front and centered

- It's easier to offer a personalized menu of suggestions on the home page, and allow the user to *browse* through the catalog, not to just *read or keyword search*

Booking . com is a classic example

- imagine each of these sections being automatically redined (personalized) to your past nostr engagements, while allowing you to make 100% overwrites and fine tune each section with your preferred parameters.

Yes, something like that. 🤔

“Suggestion first” is a kind way of saying “pay to be first”

Yes, but Primal manages that with a feed.
