This starter pack website is great not only because it can help some with onboarding, but also because it's the first non-kind-1 app to have enough usage to become useless in its normal form of "just display all lists by anyone", and now some anti-spam or curation mechanism will have to be invented.

It's even better that, since it's made to be used by people who have just joined Nostr, using their follows as a filter can't be a good solution because they simply do not follow anyone.

I just hope whatever solution nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccytv72v comes up with isn't centralizing and specific, but something more generic and interoperable (like relying on relays).

Discussion

People will hopefully share packs directly in their clients, the website is just for discovery until it overflows.

You'll hopefully discover follow packs in your timeline. That's how it grew on Bsky and that's how it can grow here.

Which starter packs should be displayed in https://nstart.me/?

Don’t forget topics

Topics are retarded, and you have not answered my question.

Why are topics retarded? What do you mean by “topics”?

Arbitrary absolute classification of content in some generic uninteresting categories like "sports", "finance", "health".

Yeah those are pretty wide and bad. But what about topics that are more specific?

“The war in Gaza”, “op return limits debate”, “kind 1111”

What’s my best ways to look on recent opinions and conversations on a specific topic like that?

Let folks pay to included in top lists

I think the client is nice not only for newcomers. Right now I believe it's the best implementation I've encountered for viewing notes filtered by specific topics.

it's not really based on topic but based on npubs, but i think that's the closest we have right now

Besides nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9wd6x2unwvf6xxtnrdakj7qg6waehxw309akx7cmtvfhhstnxd9shg6npvchxxmmd9uvahsu4 himself we all came to Nostr because someone invited us in some way. A combination of invitation deep linking, WoT and Following Packs for grouping/classification is all we need to onboard new people on Nostr without centralization.

I completely agree.
