How can I clear my entire follow list? I want to start fresh and just follow active people

You mean clear in one go? Otherwise just one at a time right?

Yeah entire list. I don’t want to check all 900 people I follow

Remove them all one by one.

It's called PoW.

🤣

I see. I don’t see a one click way on my client either. Probably not top of mind for devs. I add a bunch weekly then trim weekly after I get a feel for who I am following. Not helpful I know. All the best!

Gonna have to vibe code it

Just use like 12 different clients 🤣

Maybe Nostr nests 🤨

Careful the #nostrelite might hear you

🤫

🤣

Try following anyone using nostrnest 😂😂

IIRC your list is just a kind 3 event. If you publish a new empty kind 3 event it should replace the old one.

Ehhh, but you don't get content from inactive people... 🙃

I don’t see at least half the notes from people I follow who are active

👀

Are you saying that this is due to the sheer number of people you are following? Relays/apps are selective, or choking?

Or when you say active you think people who post almost daily, you don't want to follow people who post occasionally?

I’m not sure tbh. But if I visit some profiles manually I see recent notes but they never show up in my feed

Yes, see what you mean. I miss a lot of posts from the people I would love to see, haven't checked time stamps though when visiting their profiles. I though that this is simply because feeds are chronological and there is no algo to prioritize posts from the people I interact with often.

Could be a relay problem, when you do not view their relays. Since then you get only notes, that get federated to relays within your view.

There is a tool to find inactive follows...

Can't find it though...

It’s really inaccurate

yeghro.com > unfollow inactive accounts

Never worked for me. Always a bunch of false flags

Twice at the beginning of #nostr my entire list in a row was deleted. Use listr to recover some. I’m not sure if you can delete your entire list from there.

I now do manual debugging once a month.

This tool has worked incredibly well for me.

https://unfollow.yeghro.com/

Delete your nostr then login with nsec again. This removes all your contacts and you can start following users a fresh.

I did just that a few weeks ago. Manually clicked unfollow one by one for nearly 2000 people that I followed. Started again at following zero. Slowly building back better 😬

Quite an eye opener to know that such a high percentage of my list simply aren't here anymore.

How do you know? They might be "read only" accounts?

Fair point but then following them would be somewhat pointless.

True, you'd only miss out on their boosts

I just went through my list one by one a couple of weeks ago. Time consuming but felt good afterwards. POW!

I have an idea of making s client that:

- shows you who followed/unfollowed you the past week/month...

- shows you the inactive or least interacted among your follows

Least interacted with could be a nice feed

I'm active and not a bot. There aren't many like me these days.
