The reason Nostr is currently monothematic is there are no relay level moderation tools in open source relays. Also few clients allow users to browse by relay. So people cannot force different topics.

We need a relay with easy intuitive moderation features, the ability to assign moderators. Then we need a ansible repo to help others deploy a group of nostr services that work together.

Example, a relay, A ui, a picture hosting app, a database.

A good community implementation will also help but the current community nip needs a lot of work. Because it doesn't really work at all. More of a bulletin board.

I agree entirely, therefore I will follow you and increase your follower count.

Except Gossip won't publish the fact that I'm following unless I do that manually, which is good.

I heard nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe's Nostur does the same, but I'm not sure.

Nostur does publish who you follow by default but has an option to make a follow silent/private

Nice.

I will follow as well

Isn’t this the problem with Reddit? Too much reliance on moderators. Just give it all to me and I’ll decide what I’d like to see.

NOSTR doesn't have enough users to be interesting. No amount of further development will solve this problem. A massive PR campaign to get people to try NOSTR is the only way to solve this problem. NOSTR has less than 10,000 daily active users (and falling). Anybody who cannot face the facts on this is delusional. People should spend whatever money they want to spend on a PR campaign instead of funding yet another feature. #grownostr
