Was just today thinking that if you're not interested in nostr development but want to follow content creators it's really hard to find and follow them. All the recommendations and 24h trending etc. are boosting the few early devs and influencers on nostr.
Discussion
Does the people search on nostr.band help? Or is is still a challenge? Could you please provide more context of whom you'd like to have discovered and how you're trying to do it right now?
You're doing a lot and the integration into browsers is very helpful 🤙
I'm thinking new users and going outside of their default browser might be too much. It's the same in my case. I seldom go directly to nostr.band even though that's the way.
How I do it? Just by browsing the feed and discovering new people by their notes and interactions. Nostr is getting so big so finding the right type of people is more thematic like in the traditional media (Twitter etc.) .
The issue may not be even the discovery but that the current nostr populace is too homogeneous.
Here's a capture from Primal just now:

Yeah I agree that a) going to external site is a pain, and b) current "trending posts" are too skewed towards the OG. I myself don't like them too much, but have no great ideas on how to improve atm.
