Aye this is a problem. Without algorithms, which I don’t love, your feed is whom you follow and their reposts/quotes, which is a very limiting experience for many just getting started here. Notes like nostr:npub1sqaxzwvh5fhgw9q3d7v658ucapvfeds3dcd2587fcwyesn7dnwuqt2r45v pleb starter kit is awesome - and I encourage all nostrians to repost and quote their favorite notes from their fave follows to ensure plebs get a healthy feed built quickly. Makes #nostr much more sticky! nostr:note104cxenm9d3xhapwh5uah8gaj5vpcw0kmxq5a3afu343v9j5w7txs9cp9sn
I think follows follows is a good intermittent set.
If I follow 1 person, then my FF set might be 200 users.
It also populates very rapidly but with diminishing returns due to increasing overlap.
I think Follows Follows is also a good fit with the broader nostr philosophy, everyone would have a unique set.
The link is here. You submit a form and ask for entitlement.
nostr clients need some kind of discovery stepping stone between “global” and “feed”.
I think this is a barrier to growth.
The December wave navigated this together (at a time when global was readable), but more recent waves seem to suffer much greater user drop off. People are arriving in waves but are getting lost before they are able to follow 200+ people and build a good feed.
I once set up a Saltstack fleet and that worked on a similar principle.
Was great for managing many many machines.
Of the EM spectrum, your eyes evolved sensitivity to just 0.0035% of it.
You are literally blind to the rest of it.
You can do the same with the audio spectrum and your ears, same with chemical spectrum and your nose.
Humans only have about 0.01% of the information about our immediate reality.
That signal is enough to survive.
99.99% of reality is invisible to your senses.
This intelligent compression is the sort of embodied innate intelligence that would be a prerequisite for any AGI.
It took nature 500,000,000 years and 10^40 organisms to complete the same search.
There’s a lot more going on at the lower levels of the pyramid than people realise.
Impressive. nostr:note1t9ghnzs43gulfpud3pafqyldm404l26wz8ae5x60d3frfynwjzzs7h4jxt
Today, at 11:40pm… I was this far North. 
We call that the weekend mate.

Sure, I’m not saying you can have your cake and eat it. But you can have zaps on native iOS.
Remember 80% of social media users only scroll and like.
A reader serves 80% of users.
Yes this is unconventional, but nostr is an ecosystem. Creator apps and consumer apps don’t need to be a single app.
How to implement zaps on your iOS property, using this one weird trick…
😉 
That’s just not true.
Reader Apps are allowed to have zaps on notes today. Reader Apps are allowed to sell content outwith In-App purchases.
They are allowed 1 URL that links to a webpage where alternative payment methods can be set up.
It never gets old. 
Exactly. I highly doubt the other iOS apps that implement zaps will get removed or be asked to remove zaps.
I just don’t see it happening.
They will be fine. They could probably add even more zap buttons and not have any problems.
Other new iOS apps that implement zaps will also gain access to the App Store. Life isn’t fair. It sucks. But Apple is not some divine arbiter of judgment, they make all kinds of sloppy and inconsistent review decisions.
In theory. nostr:note1dulxuspv8m4sd94656syjr8k6494jpxtwhuhty6kv9dpkgpxm82s86wmnh
Artistic QR codes are actually quite cool in a cultural non-nerd-alert way.
Actually a nice counter culture way to spread PWA’s, as portals to the openWeb.
Hot Tub Law:
Anyone who ever owned a Hot Tub will tell you that it’s very easy to keep the thing within a hygienic chemical balance, just so long as nobody ever gets in it.
I have a feeling JB55 was just super unlucky, and the others will persist with zaps, unmolested, for quite a long time.
That’s my central prediction for how this pans out. It will feel very unfair.
Lots of people think Apple Inc is being strategic, but no. Behold the wildly varying interpretations of some mediocrely competent employees of large orgs.
