True, but you miss out on content discovery.

I basically only look at global these days. I see my follows+their follows and that web of contacts produces exactly the type of content I like to read!

Also let me branch out a bit outside of my North America developers circle. I follow some of our 🇯🇵 and 🇨🇳 nostr.wine users so I get a glimpse of who they follow too!

That’s true actually, I discovered a wonderful user form 🇯🇵 a few days ago who posts beautiful content daily… discovered in global.

I’m going to spend the day learning… and trying to clean up my relays + feed. Hard to know which of my many relays are pure spam tho. 🤦‍♂️

Use Damus or Astral to test. Damus you can toggle on off in Global. Astral shows you what relays you are “seeing” posts on.

I’d aim for about 10 relays, a few paid.

How do you toggle on off in damus?

Content discovery generally comes from people I follow sharing good content, new users, or people I like that interact with my posts… like you. I just follow real people, skip the flood of spam.

Excellent read ⚡️
