There is no WOT yet without starter auto-follows, or categorized suggested follows.

Primal is rightly incrementally improving by going the latter.

What I’d like to see on nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 is a powerful search on onboarding that asks “what are you must excited about”. If the person types “knitting”, the dozen knitting profiles are returned with option to follow.

For sure, you always need to bootstrap. And Coracle currently uses static lists too, it's a fine first step. But it would be amazing to see these bootstrap lists turned into a "explore" tool which opens up the network based on dynamic trust networks.

This was my idea behind crowd funded classifications that are published publicly via labels.

The problem is the classification work you’re asking for is expensive (if you use a 3rd party) or time consuming (to build it yourself) and nobody is willing to pay for it.

WoT and a seed user npub (inviter) would be a great start

there should be a similar razor as Occams for engineering solutions

the simplest solution out of a range of options is usually the most effective

CONTEXT is one of the essential ingredients for getting WoT to work.

Category-specific follows is one example of that.
