I understand that it's important for new users to get some initial content, but I am not a fan of every client just offering the same 10-50 nost followed nostr-celebrities to start.
Nostr is much more diverse and IMHO the onboarding process should offer profiles based on interests / topics. Maybe even a way to follow specific hashtags to find people to follow.
thank for your feedback, I will add more people, maybe fetch trending profiles from nostr.band, and add option to skip this step
Id explore interest-based. Who you follow will be the primary reason for dropping off. This is a major problem in nostr right now.
Fetching trending profiles would diversify a bit more, but it's also the same people that trend for the most part.
I’m not sure why the ability to follow specific hashtags isn’t more widely adopted. I might be missing something basic but I know you can search for them but I haven’t yet seen how to follow a hashtag by itself. 
Follow me. And wait, less than a week.
Follows. Communities. Topics.

Version 1 already released https://nostr.kiwi/
Massive changes in version 2.
Consider using a "Tribes" intro.
Tribes can be a group of users that have things in common.
Introduce an "interests" section in the profile settings. Let them work like tags.
Introduce a graph of common interest offerings.
Then offer a list of initial followers based on that and what the new person enters as interests.
