I’m not sure about this one. I check Nostr much more often than Mastodon precisely because there’s no “pressure” to interact with content on Mastodon before folks move on to the next shiny thing. My mobile client picks up all my ActivityPub stuff exactly where I left it, allowing me to catch up once every few days. In a way, this is “good” for Nostr, as I keep coming here to avoid missing things. However, as much as I support your recent experiments with Algorithm Relays (as well as Nostr DVMs), algorithms don’t really help me cut back on social media, at least in my case. A no-rush (anti-Twitter) culture works better for me.
would it help if the nostr algorithm showed a fixed number of top ranked posts and then didn't load any more posts until the next day?
Not much in my case. What would work for me is having good client support for kind 30000 named "Follow Sets". I would like to have separate "feeds" for each set like in Coracle. But it also needs to be able to read and assemble the timeline from the encrypted ".content" field (so I don't have to share the contents of all of my lists publicly) and have the ability to remember my current position in each feed like my favourite ActivityPub clients.
This way, I can step away for a few days, come back, and catch up from where I left off without FOMO. In other words, I don’t necessarily need less or algorithmically curated content (although both may be great for other kinds of users); I need better tools to self-curate and catch up with interesting content at my own pace.
