That's the idea with the follow lists. The only issue is that it puts the burden of curating those lists on the user (or the UI.. assuming we can make a useful one)

True, but I don't see that as a bad thing. Nostr allows us to be sovereign in our social media, which also comes with responsibility.

An algorithm would be fine, as long as it's optional and I can choose to curate manually instead. Perhaps an outside algorithm could be a 3rd party subscription service similar to paid relays a user opts into?

Also, what if stories had an option at the top to switch between global stories and followed accounts? Similar to how TikTok has For You and Friends.

Users usually post about a variety of topics. Sometimes just a small percentage of those topics really matter to me. Algorithms solve that problem really well.

Algorithms are also a great vehicle for centralization and promoting agendas.
