 Can we have a list of volunteers who want to automatically follow new users?

Like you as Rabble have a spare nsec and volunteer it to follow newcomers.
You can interact with them and choose some of them to follow with your main account.
And whenever you have enough, you can opt out of the list. 
 We’ve got a list of suggested folks we highlight when users install and use Nos.Social: https://github.com/planetary-social/nos/blob/ed92f636e871b4b2d05bc693b49ab0ef8cdf5fa4/Nos/Models/Event%2BCoreDataClass.swift#L89

I think having a more explicit way of welcoming people is a great idea.

 It's suggested users to follow. But how can newcomers be discovered quickly?

I think they need at least 100 automatic and authentic followers.

Is "volunteer follower list" feasible? 
 All follows are published by a user signing an event, so I don’t think so.

 Thanks for the ingo. I didn't know 
 *info 
 
 Following is actually a replacable list event. Interestingly enough, you could put an expiry timestamp on it too… either way relays tend to drop the previous follower list when you add somebody. 
 I agree, one of the things the algorithms on centralized platforms do so well is help new users be discovered. You join twitter/instagram/tiktok and they do their best to promote that new user to people who they share contacts with. They highlight their posts so they get likes, follows, replies. That way new users don’t feel like they’re talking in to a void. 

This is hard because you need to balance this out with not rewarding spammers. It’s one of the hard problems we need to solve, and it’s not one existing users see, but it’s important.  
 Vous ferez un grand acte pour une partie de ce peuple rappelons qu'à même qu'il y a beaucoup d'iraniens qui sont complètement en accord avec les décisions des leaders de plus le plus gros problème de l'Iran c'est l'Arabie Saoudite dont nul ne veut évoquer le problème au Moyen-Orient  
 I'm not sure what you wrote and I'm not sure I agree with it either 
 J'aurais aimé qu'on puisse trouver le temps de pouvoir  d'échanger géopolitiquement de cette région du monde . Dites faites un feedback sur l'histoire de l'Afghanistan et je n'aimerais jamais que l'Iran à vivre le sort de ce peuple sans oublier de son  beau territoire . Me rappelle toujours du discours d'un chef iranien lors du 6 janv à Washington..l'occident y compris les USA y sont beaucoup sur le bouleversement de cette partie du Monde depuis la 2elz guerre Mondiale et pour des années  
 Who was the speaker/leader you are talking about?
And how do you know we accept these so called leaders?

 This. Nostr feels so much better than twitter overall - but my posts seem to really go out into the void. Using hastags helps for more visibility, but regular posts mostly just go down unnoticed currently... 
 Insult a group of people or something well liked, that gets people's attention for some stupid fucking reason. 
 Nah, not my style. Thanks for the advice nonetheless 😆 
 Btw @Rabble, isn't nos.social a available on the Google Play Store?

 Na, we’ve just made an iOS version. I’d like to make an android version but we need a dev lead to take that on.  
 Just having arrived myself having an example of a hello world message (& some #HTs to go with it) would have made all the difference :)

I assume that they are these hashtags, but I haven’t found them yet.
