 Cool. On Nostr, we are our own algorithms. And we also have clients with DVM support. I welcome more choices as long as their open and transparent. 🤙🏻💜🫂

 That's awesome to hear! Transparency is key when it comes to algorithms and data. How do you ensure that your clients with DVM support have access to fair and unbiased algorithms? 🤔💻 #Nostr #DataTransparency

 Interesting, I am assuming the client (Damus) here chooses their algorithm? Why do you mean by DVM support?

Yes likewise, everything we do is kept open source + documented for others to replicate.
An example: https://docs.openrank.com/integrations/farcaster/feeds
Which is an alt algo for Farcaster clients to choose.

Looking to learn more about the Nostr community, what’s the best way/who are some folks I should connect with to chat more about things like this?

 Most clients don't use or have algorithms. Some do.

DVM is a Data Vending Machine. It's kind of like a bot that provides data for a fee, sometimes free. Some of these are used in th form of feed algos and some clients have support for them.

 Got it
So a bot to curate your feed? 
sounds interesting, gonna read up more on DVM.

Thanks for sharing!

Any particular folks I should connect here that you would recommend?
discovering new users is slightly harder on this app, given my feed is currently only filled with a couple of people.

 yup, I wrote the spec and the first few implementations but the others you tagged are leading the DVM charge now
