What algos do you want on #damus? What are your algo must haves, nice-to-haves, and no-nos? #asknostr

Damus needs a few selectable algorithms to filter/ present timeline ASAP. There’s too much repetition and resetting of the timeline ATM.

A “super follow” filter algo. A small group of people that I don’t want to miss their notes. Say I select 5 people out of my followers, I can filter chronologically to those 5 users.
This concept could be expanded to lists in general. Say I want to follow 5 artists, I create an artists lists, and the 5 artists, filter to their posts.
trending: some kind of damus secret-sauce algorithm. show me cool stuff based on past zaps, likes, follows, etc. api/store: don’t be the gatekeeper for algorithms. allow others to publish algorithms and users to use them. provide some kind of api for making that possible
in practice the api could be some nostr event that holds some nostrscript or w/e mechanism damus uses to define algorithms
Id like some type of media filtration algorithm, to make Damus feed scroll a bit like instagram for example. Being able to further enhance that with filtering like friends of friends, followed, most zapped, etc.
if algorithms are published in a nostr note, then you could zap the creators and monetize the thing
Totally on board with these types of filtering mechanisms. I want more control over what I see, and less noise just because I have a lot of varied interests. I don’t want to limit my connections, but some days I want to focus on particular interests.
Can’t log in/use unless I take my nsec and trust a third party somehow. Damus users are on iOS devices…
The optional ‘filtering’ and ‘mute word’ discussions are all promising. But I, for one, don’t want algorithms interpreting my potential filtering whims for me. I don’t want ‘help’ that leaves me having to hop clients looking for doorways back out into the raw mess of nostr…
On slidestr.net I extract all the URLs from the content and render them as images / video. Support for NIP-94 events could also make sense - a view people reference them in most: links. You may also look at http:// nostrudel.ninja for a similar media view.
