Great initiative guys. I like to suggest some big categories. 1. Entrepreneurship 2. Business lessons and tips 3. Personality development You can add me @Men ☕ in personality development, 😁 Soon will do research and suggest some in each category. Give me some time.
#nostrfr qui verriez vous dans ces listes de la communauté francophone pour mettre un peu de visibilité et aider les nouveaux ?

I second this! 🙌🏼 All of them, especially personal development! 🙌🏼✨ You can add me to personal development as well if you would like @Daniella ✨ Maybe also #spirituality (any faith) or #consciousness which are topics that do come up in relation to Bitcoin in the community as well Thanks ✨
Consider our Bitcoin page @Bitcoin Twitter We collect precious gems of tweets from Bitcoin Twitter and share it here in nostr and twitter for the plebs to experience 'Bitgasm'.

Not shilling any categories yet, but I'm hoping that down the road, some of those categories (sports, news, art) will have enough content to justify breaking them into subcategories.
Thanks for these suggestions, but they appear to be replicas of Twitter, Mastodon, etc. accounts. We are looking for real nostr accounts, genuinely posting on nostr and engaging with other nostr users.
Instead of hardcoding starter accounts, we should work toward traversing lists/labels/topics based on WoT (maybe bootstrapped by a static list).
There is no WOT yet without starter auto-follows, or categorized suggested follows. Primal is rightly incrementally improving by going the latter. What I’d like to see on @Damus is a powerful search on onboarding that asks “what are you must excited about”. If the person types “knitting”, the dozen knitting profiles are returned with option to follow. cc @Niel Liesmons @Roberto
For sure, you always need to bootstrap. And Coracle currently uses static lists too, it's a fine first step. But it would be amazing to see these bootstrap lists turned into a "explore" tool which opens up the network based on dynamic trust networks.
This was my idea behind crowd funded classifications that are published publicly via labels. The problem is the classification work you’re asking for is expensive (if you use a 3rd party) or time consuming (to build it yourself) and nobody is willing to pay for it.
CONTEXT is one of the essential ingredients for getting WoT to work. Category-specific follows is one example of that.
So what you’re saying is that you’d like your WoT to help you curate the list of categories. And you’d like your WoT to curate a list of user accounts for each category. This is PRECISELY what DCoSL was built to do. The proof of concept already exists as a desktop app, and @Anton Strickland is doing excellent work rebuilding it as a webapp. Stay tuned!
Is that why my filter.nostr.wine relay keeps getting dropped on Coracle? I keep adding it, but it doesn't seem to work and eventually just disappears from the list.

This would be great to help build a more general audience. I think right now it's a real echo chamber that would put many off. Adding curation options on entry would also help those who don't want a totally unfiltered environment. On my first hour on here I saw some extreme shit that would turn many away. Most people still want some kind of moderation and giving them control over that from the get-go (rather than algorithms) would get more on board.
Hey Kontext, saw all your notes. Thanks so much for the suggestions. You're a great help man! Appreciate it 🫡
The backend is strfry but we run our own custom proxy socket in front for AUTH and account management (not open source).
I’d like to put myself forward for art! I not only post about my pottery, I try to teach a little about the process when I do. I’ll put myself forward for food, as well. Probably food and art are my most consistent fields of original posts. More suggestions: (Non exhaustive lists, I might pop back in with more later, and more adds for other lists) Art: @Flo Montoya @Kanuto @Endcape🍌Banana Art🍌 @🟠 isolabellart @npub12rzu...hrv9 @karo @Lydia @Enrico Food: @TBone @ewelina @Queen ₿ I think that if art and photography will be separate categories, gardening/permaculture and nature could be considered separate as well. I would normally consider photography as part of art. But for photography and videography as distinct: @muneomi 📷 @Diego Valley @hes⚡️ @Nosnevets @HodlHomestead Bitcoin: @Guy Swann @Lyn Alden

@Jack Spirko posts lots of good posts about bitcoin, lifestyle, preparedness, and general information. He has a podcast too
Im happy to take position of chief cake lady #midnightbaker 😉🍰🧁 I’m surprised no one has mentioned @BitPopArt yet. Should definitely be included in the art category 👌
i won't be renewing my nostr.wine subscription or recommending it anymore until i hear you open sourced this sprocket i can't believe what i'm reading rn
NIP-42 shouldn't only be a gate to paid access it should also gate access to DMs and application specific data
i'm saying that it's an elephant in the room - free speech is fine but a reasonable layer of protection against access to privileged data - we here see a prisoner's dilemma that nobody wants to take the cost (a few days effort) to solve, which is abombinable
I think this won't change, until more people use SDKs. Everyone will just build the absolute minimum they need. The correct model is for them to only implement the minimum they need from the core library.
