Indeed, there's always an aftershock with the big fellas. It's really hard work to grow organically on here, which does have a certain POW aspect to it but still.

One thing I do is, every note I make (which isn't all too often) I boost 5 hours later. There's a bit of extra oomph to visibility like that and it helps for people in different timezones.

Same.

Nostr is brutal for anyone outside of the USA time zones because most users are looking at Primal Recommendation List, as their main follows, and that's almost all Americans.

So, when those few people don't post, the chronological feed freezes. There's no incentive to use Nostr during other times, anymore.

You also have to cater heavily to Americans, to get those people to boost your stuff, so that anyone else can see it.

We always joke around about the tumbleweeds during the EU time zone, but nobody talks about the cause of it.

Do you think a personalized Recommended list would help with this problem? I presume Primal’s Rec list is still a global one.

Yes, it's a global one. At least, on Primal.net.

But, they'd inevitably tweak a personalized list to always recommend their short list.

What Utxo and Will are building is more future-oriented.

How about a personal WoT relay, controlled by the user, that provides the rec list. The client provides the UX. If the client starts tweaking rec lists, you’ll know it.

Yeah, I have a private relay and I administer wss://theforest.nostr1.com

Nice πŸ‘πŸ»

If you could add any WoT-related features to relay tools on top of its current functionality, what would you ask for?

Nothing. He's drowning in my feature requests, already. πŸ˜…

if you add #realy to your deployment options you can have a depth 2 WoT out of the box and designate a small list of nostr:npubs whose follow lists designate level 1 and then as you can gather the follow lists of those users you can create level 2, which i would call "guests" it's a model i have given the working title "friends and guests" and it's like WoT but without the retardation of fuzzy boundaries

I find the jumble.social global feed really wakes up at night sometimes because the high follower nostr:npubs aren't there to suck up all the oxygen

jumble.social also keeps adding nostr: to my posts though
