I wonder if you could somehow automate off-the-radar recommendations or users and posts?
This is sort of what I was thinking of for an improved 'trending' posts. Currently trending posts are showing the most followed accounts, even their boring posts because of read-receipts. Trending could take follower count into consideration. So a small account with 15 likes is considered more than a huge account with 15 likes.

I am not sure that the effort and the pleasure of discovering small gems, and sharing them could be substituted with an algorithm.
I like the idea of growing my network on Nostr in a slow, personal way. Following suggestions from people I already trust, or randomly wandering from one npub to the next. 😉
I understand. I was sorting of thinking tied in with a way for clients to show new people something beyond bitcoin. I think that is a lot of people's impression of Nostr (perhaps not all that inaccurate, it is predominantly this maybe). Personal discovery will always be there imo cos algos won't pick up on everything. (Hashtags and topic-focused clients help somewhat too for discovery.)
What I did myself was to make a client which searches ALL communities and shows me their creators.
So if I like the Community title, then I follow the people in a special list.
With the time, I move them to my real follow list or I remove them if I don't like the messages.
