I think a better solution to this problem would be better to add a follower recommendation of some sorts if the pubkey is following zero other pubkeys and not force follow a bunch of pubkeys. Would make for a good introduction to the “account system” in nostr :) Probably easier said than done though😅

this too. whatever we can do to make it more of a soft landing for a new user.
also i would never set default follows for a user. would just hard code it in astral to show default users in a feed.
This means kind of the same thing / works kind of the same. "The defaults" should not make user "follow" anyone hardcoded, but instead just show some default ids in the feed.
