I don't dislike the idea of algorithms, I just never found one that really worked. Not even the YouTube algo works for me.

Follow-based feeds work. But it gets old quick. The secret is finding new communities to belong. Not necessarily in a NIP-29/Discord way. But communities nevertheless.

When you build a follow list, you are essentially assembling a community for yourself. You mark the people you want to engage with. Nostr is still a single community.

Maybe Clients need more of that "Follow list building magic". Or maybe communities will be formed around apps, like Olas is doing right now. Maybe we need different nsecs for different communities...

Maybe the whole point of Nostr identities is to build, discard it and start again.

Maybe multiple identities is the natural state of life. And Nostr is just the vehicle to make them digital...

in "the network state" balaji introduces the mimetic code - the idea that our commitment to social groups can be quantified.

as we live in multiple circles (example: programming, bitcoin, hiking), we create our unique, multi-layer code.

zaps w/ their corresponding events could be used to calculate one's code, and from there, maybe some zaps-based algos are the way to improve things.

thoughts?
