Since we don't have feed algorithms to bring content forward and our community is relatively small compared to other major social platforms, it's best to follow a lot of npubs. When I say a lot, I mean a lot. If you're only following a couple hundred people here, you're going to think Nostr is a ghost town.

Become my first follower so ππ€
im definitely not following enough!!!!
Also. The people are nice and the quality of posts is relatively high.
The experience wonβt degrade even if you get to a 1000-2000 follows.
I see that you are following 1300 npubs π
Do you know if there is a way, in Amethyst or any other Nostr app, to automatically start following everyone who someone else is following?
Like, if I wanted to copy your following list...
You will think itβs a ghost town, because it isβ¦compared to the others. No hiding there.
no, i love my village
I recommend to follow 1000 π₯Ή
Ouch. I didn't know Damus had this issue.
I've just followed you
So I'm the second one π
With listr.lol I believe. You'd just copy my contact list.
This is how we win.
Done.
Work hard. We don't have a whole lot of noise here, so most follows will be a lot of signal.
Agreed. You need to follow many at first.

first post in my feed gets the sats today this was ot
Me with 169 follows.
Also check whoβs following you and follow back π«
i follow 107
you must spend a lot of time on this thing
I just made a post in #nostr about the algorithms that drive content and that help many people interact with it giving a feeling of βbelongingβ to a community.

Any good list of bitcoiners to follow on Nostr?
Now 170 pal
Welcome and followedπ€
Yep. Unfollowing EVERYONE and selectively rebuilding your following list isnβt fun!
Thank you, great, I will try when I'm at my PC.
From the phone, Listr requires a sign-in with extension and I don't have any working extension on mobile.
I'm not even sure if there is any.
I meant my followings π Language barrier ig.
You just become the 170th!
I can't choose who follow by myself, Wen bring algo on nostr π
I get overwhelmed following too many people
I donβt get notifications when people follow me, so itβs hard to keep us with this
I check once a week for new followers and if I see good content in my feed I follow and see who theyβre following too π«π
I'm not really interested in 100 bitcoiners vs 1000 bitcoiners all from western backgrounds.
What potentially makes Nostr powerful is the ability to integrate me into communities I otherwise would be excluded from due to cultural differences and language barriers. That is the shift in human interaction that can lead to an exponential growth in innovation. I should see all messages in my native language preference and translate back to original format if ever required.
I don't just want to scale more of the same I'm hunting for an intellectual and cultural melting pot.
There are clients that show follows in notifications such as Primal too
And even then I find these inaccurate.
Followed, ser.
Besides a couple clients that have trending algorithms on the sidebar, we don't have feed algorithms beyond the ones we make for ourselves - yet. 2024 will be the year of the Nostr Algorithm Store!
Tell me about your village?
A year ago or so, I had my follows nuked because of a rogue client. I just visited
@jack 's profile via Snort and tapped the follow all button π
Nos2x?
Followed back!
π€£ That works too!
I've been opting to follow hashtags. It seems more interesting to me.
i made it public, what more do you want?
i like this, translation is one of the simplest things LLMs can do and i'd damn well subscribe to read them, like yesterday!
Your post is being shared.

Whatβs the best way to find people? Iβve followed some hashtags and look through the explore page.
Yep, discovery is an issue. Iβve mostly found people through hashtags
Can confirm, I only follow a handful and this is the case. I'm starting over from 0 though. My old key I had more.
Iβm sure the algorithms will improve, if you give the user what they want to consume, you already earn a lot.
I got Alby extension to work on mobile on Firefox.
I even sent some sats to Alby wallet and sent some zaps from it via Primal and Snort via Alby extension.
That worked. It's actually incredible to see how I can use the same identity in different apps.
I logged in to Listr using Alby. Another success.
But I don't know how to copy someone's list still...
I tried, I found Derek, but I don't know how to copy his list...
You can also create a list of creators on a particular theme and view that instead of all follows. In case you want to have a little more control. I did this recently with Listr and Amethyst to view. No sure all clients allow this. #nostrtip #protip
Free market of algos for Nostr? Sounds awesome! Any Deets?
Agree, but how do you balance making it not feel like a ghost town and also making it interesting content.
