Nostr Web Client

You rarely want to see everything from someone your following.

So, what's the most natural way to filter for the good stuff?

🅰️ by Content type

🅱️ by Community (and thus Topic / Interest / Goal)

Do you mean doing away with the way Nostr clients currently work, that is, subscribing to an npub, and instead subscribe to topics or communities?

Wouldn't that entail the addition of some sort of metadata to all Nostr events so clients can filter and properly display them?

Sounds either like a bitch for users if they have to manually add those labels every time they simply want to shitpost or, once again, the introduction of automated algos to filter and label. That is, opening the door to censorship, shadowbanning, etc.

1. No, I mean both. All current Nostr clients can keep doing what they do. Community apps will just start filtering/publishing by Community.

2. Yes exactly. You tag any event with the NIP-29 communities you want to publish in.

3. Most shitposts are low signal chat messages targetted at an in-group. If they're not, they're worth being targeted at the right (and most profitable!) audience.
