Unpopular opinion (?): I want to have, and would use Nostr more often with, some sort of algorithmic feed.

Give me control though: let me select from many open source models, give me a simple UI for tweaking the weights of each parameter (that I can turn on or off), and just give me control to experiment.

Twitter’s stickiness came from users crafting their own extremely unique experience over years. It’s also why conversion of new users was so hard - they didn’t ā€˜get it’ until they had a sufficiently built out experience of accounts followed or content mix.

I’m feeling a little bit that way - stuck or stale atm - and I think suggestions of popular notes/accounts or ā€˜things I missed between sessions’ would be beneficial to the ecosystem.

100% I said it in a bunch of posts early on and people have me tons of shit for it.

That's the beauty of Nostr, each client can function how they want. And I want a client with my own editable algorithmic feed. Will zap tons of sats for it šŸ’œāš”ļø

I'd like an algorithmic feed to help us find posts that we missed and a normal fire hose feed. Though I believe that we'll be getting something similar by following the Nostr.band trending npub.

primal.net has trending in your network

ā€œAlgorithmsā€ have been treated as four-letter word because previously the algorithms mostly served corporate interests at expense of users and our sanity. I think transparent and user adjustable algorithms to help positively shape the experience can be good. šŸ¤™

I agree with this.

Feels like discovery of new account is still a bit of a pain at the moment and something mes feels a bit empty and echo chamber-y

Yep.

Don't think that's unpopular at all. nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg is making great strides towards fixing this and I'm sure other clients will offer similar feeds soon too.

pretty popular opinion, i think it’s just hard to approach this while maintaining the user-selected relay model. primal.net is making the most progress and they’re gonna opensource part of their method
