Yeah, there's a bunch of shit that could be done to improve onboarding and new user experience.
But I'm not a Dev so I can't do it.
Need a client with moderated hashtag feeds so people can actually find shit when they first get here.
Referral links, why is BCHnostr the only client with referral links?
Those who are more organised, journalists that already have their own websites could create their own relays, then you just need at least one of them also running a relay aggregator that relays the relays to users interested in independent journalists.

Hashtags moderated at the relay level are nice. The dilemma with doing it at client level is the sheer number of possible hashtags that exist and God only knows how many relays each will connect with at a given moment. At the relay level, different topics or collections of topics can be moderated by different groups or individuals and presented/shared as discovery feeds.
wss://aquaticchickentheory.nostr1.com is an example of 25+ hashtags, streamed in from public relays & filtered by my WoT.
New users, during the initial onboarding process shouldn't even need to look at their relay settings.
Default relay setting for onboarding needs to be a relay aggregator with a fallback aggregator if it fails.
Most nostr clients are not consumer ready, people gotta learn how to replace the break pads and oil filters before they can learn to drive without an algorithm.
After people understand how to drive they are ready to look under the hood and modify things.
Agreed, it would be way to much to do on the client end.
More about default relay settings in clients and different types of relays existing to do different things.
I disagree. I believe Nostr can succeed greatly when people stop trying to make it look and act like something that it is not, but there is always more than one way forward.
