When I first started using nostr via the primal app it was so difficult to find people worth following I almost gave up on nostr. Then I tried amethyst and openvibe and found a bunch of people to follow on the global feeds. It took a fair bit of work. Going through muting more than half the people that primal automatically followed(homoerotic cryptobros and scammers) and finding people actually worth following. At first on primal I tried looking up hashtags, but bots use hashtags more than anyone else here so that wasn't a good way to find people. There definitely is room for improvement
