Helping out new users over the last days made me realize that the largest hurdle for new nostriches is building your own feed. Most users expect there to be some sort of out of the box feed (curated by an algorithm).
Currently most clients are not doing much to support users to find new profiles to follow. Hashtags are the only way to find content and profiles, but if you are new, you don't even know the hashtags.
IMHO we need:
- Suggested Hashtags for new users (I've created nostr:npub1ceq89j69ckn52pfngnm2sasf6t5z3j24c5pel5klnhs4e5r7cmlq5l6k9l to spread this information)
- Trending hashtags (for news and current events)
- A way to subscribe to hashtags
- Suggested profiles (not just the top 50, but based on topics).
What are your thoughts on this?

I know for myself having the ability to subscribe to hashtags and have them on my main feed would be really nice.
UX needs some work on a lot of clients. It's not intuitive for new users how to navigate Nostr.
Having a list of suggested hashtags pop up especially during your first few posts would be nice.
