I think we're being rather naive with nostr sometimes. Once users have thousands of follows, what is a good way for them to get through their feed, without something trying to pick and choose what is their favorites?

Or at least without something choosing and highlighting their most engaged topics/ accounts?

Just chronological scrolling will take forever to get through everything, and most users really only want to see a group of repeating friends/accounts.

I guess if its open source it is about a billion times better.

Realistically there will be algorithms to choose from, not forced upon you.

That sounds like the best way to go about it.

Lists are a solution I think. Also to be able to sort by the people you zap through most times and highest value.

Adding to this. If you could put people in lists, then sort by notes zapped by people in that list. So dividing into communities and sorting by the highest zapped amounts in that community. Wisdom of the crowd you have selected

Chronological Lists was the only way to use Twitter and simultaneously escape algorithms and it will be useful here on Nostr as well.

I remember #[2] (Nostrgram) recently showcased his new List functionality.

(For those unfamiliar with Lists, they are user-created)
