It definitely took me a while to get accustomed. Figured out it was cause I’m used to an algorithm making me at home instantly. Whereas in Damus the universe feed overwhelmed and turned me off for a while. It was only when I finally decided to follow people off of someone else’s follower list that things clicked.
One way to solve this could be to ask people what their interested in, then provide them a selection of popular accounts to follow in that niche before dumping them straight into the universe.
Or a somehow immediately show then people from their contacts that are on nostr.
