i personally think starter packs would be pretty powerful if implemented well
in my mind you would share a link or code to a new user and they would follow the people, topics, and content you recommend

If the onboarding is smooth, and I can direct them to sign up to primal using my personalized link, which will include my recommended lists - that’s a powerful use of web of trust.
But I’m still curious about scaling inside here for the existing user base 😅 I’ll crack it! nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx

That's a great idea!
Would also be nice, if you could just choose, say the 'Efrat Fenigson Package' on your first login and you automatically follow all of your followers. But so that it also works without a special link and for any creator.
This is what nostr:npub1manlnflyzyjhgh970t8mmngrdytcp3jrmaa66u846ggg7t20cgqqvyn9tn was trying to build over a year ago with his onboarding website. I think it's a great idea and plays into Web of Trust beautifully.
That was a fun project : custom WoT powered Nostr invites. Still an important need, but I ran out of runway on my own dime.
I’m obv not a good fundraiser … but would like to get better.

I think a DVM as a primary feed may make more sense. Most zapped perhaps, or most liked.
Starter packs result in some weird dynamics. Especially if we're trying to diversify perspectives on Nostr.
Not that I mind the cult. Or a small network. But if bringing more people in is the goal, it's worth considering.
you are basically describing the primal trending feed
likes, zaps, reposts, and replies are weighted and averaged
its relatively basic and imperfect but definitely helps with discovery
there is no “perfect path,” we should give users more options and they can choose the best tools for themselves
One thing I think that would be handy is a client that lets you sign in with your own nsec, and then also someone else's npub, and makes it easier to just follow someone from that person's stream without the acrobatics of either signing back in, or juggling multiple windows. It's not THAT bad as is but you sort of have to know that it's what you want to do at this point, and I think new folks already have a hard enough time with the idea of being able to sign in as someone else in the first place.
Groups are another discovery mechanism for finding people to follow that just don't seem like they've ever caught on. Not sure if that's a UI thing or what, but they could be an interesting path if a spark lands on the right tinder.
Every technology that has changed the world has done so by providing building-blocks / structural rules, and letting the users crowd-source the breakthru user-draw.
Nostr is a tee-up for this already. Don’t give the people what you think they need. Prrovide them a platform of tools to build something for you.
Lists are so powerful, would love starter packs and community curated lists for topics
BlueSky has had this for a long time. We attempted to do it on Nostr with follow packs but only one or two clients bothered to implement it, and only in a half-assed way.
Outside my curated feed for both primal and twitter its a fucking shitshow out there
nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg I dont see an easy way to add people to my current lists unless Im unaware of one.
