Nostr Web Client

I understand! Thanks for your comment

It’s interesting without the algorithm because lots of creators need a good algorithm to get off the ground to promote their business & create their community…

I’m still trying to understand it all as a creator!

I agree and I’ve seen a few discussions recently about the need for better mechanisms to discover content on Nostr. At the moment the only real option is to repost things that you don’t feel got the visibility that you expected. I occasionally repost 8-12 hours later if there is something I think the other half of the world may be interested in seeing.

I personally don’t want a fully algorithmic feed but algorithms that can be enabled to see notes that I missed while sleeping or to help discover new unique content would be useful.

Delayed reposts would help. Otherwise you end up with a feed full of the same popular posts at any one time

Yeah I see this happen sometimes. My feed gets flooded with reposts because someone wakes up and decides to repost everything they posted the previous day all at once! I try to limit my reposts only to notes that I think people might have missed and would find interesting, or sometimes quote repost if there is additional useful information that I can add.

When you’re limiting your reposting you are in effect self-censoring.

I understand why you do it, but that shows a gap in #nostr that needs to be addressed because we should be looking to repost MORE, not less, but we both know that wouldn’t make feeds better right now.

Repost with an optional time delay would be fairly easy to implement

I agree about the self-censoring but realistically a lot of my posts don’t need the extra visibility. Someone on the other side of the world doesn’t need to see my GM post 12 hours later! It is obviously different for someone creating content and wanting to get the maximum audience.

Have you had a look at https://shipyard.pub? I haven’t tried it but it allows scheduled posts and it looks like it supports time delayed reposts.

Yeah saw it ages ago. Scheduled posts is the same mechanism, we just need it on the reposts and as an option so Quote/Repost/Delay Repost - they all have separate purposes
