Obsession with influencers doesn't help. The "trending" lists are generally the same group everyday.
Floppy disk guy is right. Everyone here is overly optimistic and monothematic, it gets boring fast 😴

nostr "trending" is garbage but I'm here for the "other stuff" rather than the twitter cloneage.
Absolutely. You just earned yourself a follower, fellow non-influencer
I think that some of that comes down to the fact nostr was conceived and is mainly being developed by people from the bitcoin community. And as a result, the largest group of people on nostr are bitcoiners. Doesn't help that many "normies" think that bitcoin=scam, so when those same "normies" join nostr some of the first things they see are about bitcoin so they nope the fuck out. It ends up being a chicken-and-egg problem caused by the fox having a field day in the henhouse. I think that if bitcoin haters can be convinced to not just join, but ignore bitcoin content altogether, we can get the diversification of content people want.
too much bitcoin noise for nocoiner who dnot need any coin infact - technical stuff is all good - but experts fro other fields have not arrived yet. possible due to 90% btc heavy crowd
Clearly noticed for 3months a group of 20 npubs always in some portals trending - (that even excludes jack or snowden) - not sure what algo they r using - only know one web app where trending show frequent rotations many new npubs shows up - no name calling - just AVOIDING those echo algo apps.
