I've been thinking this, lately, as well. Most newbies don't actually want to show up and see a feed full of #devs arguing about algorithms and tiered storage, or whatnot. That's an immediate turn-off, even if it sometimes gets more interesting for users, once they've figured out how all this stuff works. Lots of devs actually have OtherTopics. They just rarely post about them because the dev-y stuff is what gets clicks (from other devs). Since devs are inclined to stay on Nostr, however, and there are so many devs, it would be better for all of us if they/we talked more about our OtherTopics and there be a dev community relay where we could talk our dev stuff. So, I started one, that I will manually curate: https://devs.nostr1.com/ It just picks up keywords that sound "devish", like "C++" or "NDK" or "devs".

Most devs seem to have very different and very articulate visions for their clients and Nostr as a whole. They butt heads too often from what I've seen and many aren't very open or, in the worst of cases, completely closed off to user feedback.

This problem can be solved with an algorithm that evalutes each event by taking the weighted sum of all the interactions seen on that event, where a user model defines weights for a set of profiles. A positive weight means interactions from this profile increase the ranking of the event this profile interacted with. A negative weight does the opposite. All the events are sorted by rank, and the top results are shown for an evaluation over a given timespan. Previously shown events are exluded from subsequent evaluations.
the nostr algorithm mirrors the approach of deep learning at a higher level of abstraction. it's as if we've all been tinkering around with a single layer neural network without exploiting the possibity of leveraging other nostr profiles to filter incoming events through a deep network of dynamically evolving algorithms and user specified weighting models
I like their idea of forking algo's too. in my concept of the nostr algorithm, you will be able to fork algorithms as well as weighting models, and compose your own custom model from models of other profiles you trust, which could be human or AI
Thanks! I'm using NIP-29 for groups for now so only a handful of relays can be used for groupchat atm. I'm also implementing nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynq's proposal that doesn't require it but the UX is a bit different.
I really want something like Amethyst multiprofiles, but the ability to switch last second before clicking post. And/or a toggle to remind me to use a hashtag for categorizing the post since its 2024 and we have no standard for full text search. Then i could split my posts between dev stuff, reading, fitness, meming/shitposting etc
gm! 😁 mods cant change the moderator list.. only owners can.. does that seem like a good setting? i had pondered this one, if it should allow mods to change other mods. 🤔 your relay owner is your other account i believe..
