Welcome Curated Feeds: https://feeds.nostr.band/
Many people believe Nostr needs some new feeds.
Here is one: wss://feeds.nostr.band/popular - all notes with 10+ interactions.
Or another: wss://feeds.nostr.band/meme - some memes, as you might expect (curated by nostr:npub10awzknjg5r5lajnr53438ndcyjylgqsrnrtq5grs495v42qc6awsj45ys7 ).
Add a feed URL to your relay list. Then, if your app allows that (Damus), you can go to Global, switch off other relays, and enjoy the nice filtered feed.
There are also feeds with pictures, video or audio.
And you know what?
You can create your own curated feed, and let others subscribe to it!
It's built around labels, NIP-32. You add some labels to some notes, and our custom relay will then serve the notes you've curated.
Here a deeper overview by nostr:npub10awzknjg5r5lajnr53438ndcyjylgqsrnrtq5grs495v42qc6awsj45ys7 https://lnshort.it/feeds/
There are many approaches to curation, algorithms and filtering. Hopefully, this new tool could help Nostr become more engaging, welcoming, diverse and safe.
Discussion
There is a fee for feed creation. The name space is limited, and our relay will be serving your feed, so I think it's necessary and fair. Besides, you are set as an admin of your feed, and people might start zapping you (i.e. through zap pool in Snort).
are there already tools for me to create my own feed?
Yes, David, have a look at the guide #[3]β mentioned in his note. It explains the process step-by-step.
On nostr.band there is now 'Label' button under all notes, just add 'some label' to them. And then create a feed at feeds.nostr.band w/ your pubkey and 'some label'.
Yes for 2000 sats/month π
