I’m a fan of the Nostur ‘Hot’ feed from nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe
Very useful for catching up after some time off Nostr

Curious what the basic metric is for measuring "hotness" — is it number of replies, zaps, some web-of-trust thingy? For Satellite I'm using a rolling sum of zaps received in the past 24 hours to surface content that these (presumably) not-spammy pubkeys have either posted themselves or interacted with, but I'm not completely satisfied with this because it's still trusting lightning network servers to not forge zap receipts, and it could totally be gamed if you were determined enough. Client side algos are a huge win for decentralization but damn it takes some work
“Nostur uses follows + follows of follows to filter spam and bots, and it uses likes and reposts from follows uniquely ranked to create Hot and Gallery feeds.” - https://habla.news/u/fabian@nostur.com/nostr-web-of-trust
Article also talks about the ‘Algo’ on Oddbean.
Yeah I think a few devs have stayed away from using zaps in trending algos for that reason.
Not sure what the difference between the ‘Hot’ & ‘Explore’ feeds are in Nostur though
