I follow 1300 people and some may say those are rookie numbers. I try to follow as many people as I find interesting. Unlike twitter YOU are the algorithm. It doesn’t feed you, you need to feed it with people you want to hear from.

That's like 1000x more work than necessary Seems like there's a middle ground here where the Nostr client does *some* of the work for the user...

Follow hashtags that interest you first. Then notice who posts there, check them out and see if they’re interesting to you.
