Following a lot of people rather than being really selective about your follows is a good strategy here. You see way more conversations and good posts that are “one hop away” from your graph that you’d otherwise miss.

Also I follow a handful of hashtags that are really helpful for branching out, but there is some risk there, fyi.

I’m hoping clients start making some features (and/or thinking of doing this myself on the relay side if it’s not too much work) to help with the problem of spam and porn in global. More integrated web of trust visibility will help there as well.
