 An experiment:

Following fewer individuals and instead following specific hashtags of interest seems to be improving my experience. 

Seeing specific thoughts of everyone > seeing every thought of everyone

 fwiw, I've found lists to be helpful

 Like old school hellthreads but only with folks of similar interests?

 Yeah, I organize them by topic outside of a list that is friends that I talk with a lot. Want to be able to see the topics but also my favorite buddies

 The ability to follow keywords as opposed to hashtags would be even better.

 Yea i think i might do the same. Thats a good point at the end. And i’m loving focusing on the hashtags more and more. I don’t use Amethyst but i might try it out since i basically never use Primal anymore. Mostly just Damus and Nostur

 I recommend this to every new pleb. But I think I always get drowned out by the sheer number of people saying “follow absolutely every single person you possibly can”

 For me it’s a nostr enjoyment cheat code. I think more will come around. 

So many great folks here, but blanket following them all causes a tsunami of thoughts that’s impossible to wade through.
