 Is there a nostr client that starts the onboarding process by having you select topics or interest, and then recommends people to follow based on those preferences?

 Coracle does this, but the categories are hand-picked by the admin rather than being open-ended topic/user associations

 It would require downloading a lot of data first of all (Coracle is 100% client-side). It would also be easily gamed without some kind of web of trust bootstrapping, although that would be doable (but also even more computationally intensive). It also allows people who white-label coracle to tailor the recommendations to their users.

 Can we make a client that shows every thing except bitcoin? So I can send normies there 

Fork coracle with just in-built filters for some pleb-words and accounts.

 Not a bad idea. Relay-based feeds would make that reasonably easy if there are places that curate non-bitcoin stuff (doing it client side would be expensive)
