It’s funny how cyclical things are.

Over the last year, I kept a presence on NOSTR—posting daily, responding to everyone—but I never scrolled much. I’ve never been a fan of the “Latest” algorithm.

A couple of weeks ago, I found out about the nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg 2.0 update that lets you choose your algorithm. Around the same time, the X algorithm changed again.

My feed on X had been pretty solid, but suddenly it was filled with excessive engagement posts instead of real connections—the stuff I actually care about.

Naturally, over the last few weeks, I’ve flipped things: I still post and engage on X, but I spend my time scrolling and connecting on NOSTR.

It’s cool how it just happened naturally as things progressed.

ONWARD.đź’ś

I don’t get it. How do you “pick” your algorithm? Is this based on your relays?

It depends on your client. I know amethyst and Primal allow you to do so

I use primal on mobile. I can’t get it to work ikon browser for some reason.
