An enhancement for (Damus, likely other apps too) home feeds could be to limit either posts or posts and replies to where you are following both the reply parent author and reply pubkey.
Seeing all of someone’s replies is nice, but can become very noisy. I think twitter used to use the logic above, so you could see conversations without your following list, while also seeing non-rely posts.
I’m not sure however if this is a simple REQ to relays. Maybe a query engine limitation too.

Damus used to have this! But I removed it since it was so slow in the early days. I can look into readding .
Awesome :)
Another way to make the feed cleaner would be to consolidate duplications like this.
Maybe this could be part of some caching feature? I notice that Damus reloads everything on startup. On my iPhone with big memory, I’d really enjoy if I could have say 20GB cash containing the last 7days of posts of all accounts I follow.
For some data too, I follow 160 accounts. In 30 days the accounts I follow create 24,000 kind 1 events collectively.
I don’t have a simple query to calculate what that becomes, but certainly more manageable to ingest when time poor.
