I remember nostr:npub1hc8cjerygnzthc9axc2p7jlnezm2zm8j5py6u2l3m76njr36ap7qea56h3 saying on nostr:npub14kw5ygpl6fyqagh9cnrytyaqyacg46lzkq42vz7hk8txdk49kzxs04j7y0 that the list of npubs for “trending” is hardcoded, AND that he’d like to implement user chosen algos…

Hardcoded? Who picks the list of npubs? My fear is that primal is going to turn into just another Twitter, where the platform decides what to show us.
At brainstorm.ninja you can see which wiki topics are trending, which are popular, which are controversial. Who decides? YOUR GRAPEVINE DECIDES.
Yes yes. I actually think we’re ALL on the same page. The more I listen. Problem is alignment of effort, not as much of ideals and intention.
Primal is not my chosen client. Yea they hardcode that trending list FOR NOW, but hearing nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr and nostr:npub1tvqc82mv8cezhax5r34n4muc2c4pgjz8kaye2smj032nngg52clq0rkrq4 actually discussing the hard parts out loud made me less concerned.
We’re all driving the same direction. How to steer together? That is the challenge.
So what do they say are the hard parts that are preventing them from a customized trending list? There’s a part of me that says a hard coded trending list is worse than none at all.
I’m not entirely clear why primal hasn’t pushed harder on this from DAY ONE… but I suspect it has to do with shifting paradigms.
WoT filtering (done right) requires some infrastructure (as we’ve discussed) and some additional work by the end user (configuring filters) in order to provide satisfactory results. In turn, this requires investors and developers to think differently about what is “important content” for each user … paradigm shifting takes time. That’s my take.
if that happens and people like it, Primal will continue to succeed. if that happens and people don't like it, they'll probably make a change. if people really hate it, they'll easily pop over to a different client
