I agree. I took the bad advice of following as many people as possible for an active feed when I first joined Nostr, and now curating it down to a manageable number is a pain.

Me too. I followed back every npub that followed me…big foul. Now, gonna be a nightmare to cull, so I just mute/block, it unfollow as it becomes indicated.

This is all great feedback. Thanks guys and bees

💯

Now I try to follow for quality interactions, slowly weeding out those I never interact with, who just add noise in my feed.

Also threads like this one, where I may find npubs to follow that are not interested in following me, but I follow for educational reads re #nostr, #bitcoin , etc.

Yeah, this is where categorized lists would be great. Sometimes I want to read about a topic, and there are people I would like to follow for that, but I don't need to see them all the time. It would let you build your own self selected communities in a way.

Was really thinking about that specific topic last night and am hurting from it.

Probably no other way than to go unfollow a bunch of people

Sounds fair. Gonna be rough on folks like Jack, tho.
