nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg should look at the default follower list for new users. Some of them are zombies and haven’t posted in months

There shouldn’t even be a default follower list. I always hated that they did that.

that way your feed isn't dead by default

better alternatives?

Default to paid relay feed such as nostr.wine feed. I browse that feed all the time on nostr:npub17n4cuc4d6y6qh89dekvxrenfkt5s0n49xns00uavjaxpr36c55dq87fyh9.

Great way to find new accounts to follow

that's just pivoting from promoting creators to a paid relay

not a fix

It’s better than what primal is doing. I hated the default follows onboarding so much that I forked the web app and removed that feature 😂.

oh i agree 😂 just feel like it's picking between dog shit and cat shit

Another option is default to a curated feed which includes notes of all the people on their default follow list. That’s a million times better than forcing you to follow all those people.

Also, the nostr.wine feed is not shit. If it was, I wouldn’t browse it all the time.

atleast having the forced follows be optiona

… maybe it is. I haven’t checked

It wasn’t optional before. Not sure if they’ve changed that.

Just checked on the web app. Still not optional.

thats low hanging af at a minimum

My fork still exists, but i haven’t updated it in a long time so it doesn’t include all the new features like live streaming

Also like this.

Much to come.

Web onboarding needs love 😅

Will my PR get merged if I fix it? 😂

Fafo ?

Looks like things changed a bit since I ripped out that feature in my fork. My old fix doesn’t work anymore. Too lazy to figure out how to do it. 😂

There are lots of good curated relays to choose from now too, not just nostr.wine. jumble starts with a good selection of them.

Yep. People who don’t use nostr:npub17n4cuc4d6y6qh89dekvxrenfkt5s0n49xns00uavjaxpr36c55dq87fyh9 are living on a different planet. 😂

It needs to be MUCH more obvious that you follow people in the start. This doesn’t cut it. Nobody realized they were autofollowing. It’s one of our biggest complaints.

We will be iterating.

If it is a necessary feature it should be dynamic, not static. And there should be an option to opt-out if someone doesn't want a bunch of fake followers and bots.

Compare the counts of primal defaults with and without bots & silent users removed 😂

agreed

There's zombies that has 20k followers ahah

Hook me up with people to follow. I’m interested in seeing people do rad stuff with bitcoin and primal. More the marketing than the super nerd stuff but big up to all the nerdy dudes and dudes that make it all possible! Thanks

Ya it’s brutal. Revamping. Onboarding is a work in progress 🫡

Found it odd that I was confronted with what appeared to be a curated list of who to follow when first installing it, considering nostr's ethos.
