Nostr is brutal for anyone outside of the USA time zones because most users are looking at Primal Recommendation List, as their main follows, and that's almost all Americans.
So, when those few people don't post, the chronological feed freezes. There's no incentive to use Nostr during other times, anymore.
You also have to cater heavily to Americans, to get those people to boost your stuff, so that anyone else can see it.

Do you think a personalized Recommended list would help with this problem? I presume Primal’s Rec list is still a global one.
Yes, it's a global one. At least, on Primal.net.
But, they'd inevitably tweak a personalized list to always recommend their short list.
What Utxo and Will are building is more future-oriented.
I find the jumble.social global feed really wakes up at night sometimes because the high follower nostr:npubs aren't there to suck up all the oxygen
