Oddbean new post about login | logout The #Primal team must exist in a bubble. Imagine producing a client and trendlist for Nostr, but not using it. https://i.gifer.com/YxBN.gif
Did anyone else look at the lists they came up with and think, "Wow, these people are literally not here."
It’s always the same people
Also included a lot of people who are well-known elsewhere, but don't really post anything here. So, like.... why? Bizarre. Might as well be bots. Reminds me of this song. Those people are "Big in Twitter". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl6u2NASUzU
Their client team is already sus because of how they make it difficult to use your own zap account or read your own feed. And we haven't forgotten the trending list shenanigans. Smells like Big Business, TBH.
Big business done the wrong way.
Software development just doesn't scale well. https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExN2l6M2dnbDk3M3oyZXBqdzIyOTZ0eXR0NWpwcmk4dGVobHhreGt3diZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/89wSlv0mMv9JU0kxvd/giphy.gif
So, no solution?
Yop 💯, asking who they should hard-code as recommendations 🤦♂️

Daaaamn 😹
They are aware and are currently building a new list of recommended profiles. Post your suggestions here: nostr:note1759rw0dmypk5p62fa9lq4r8j2c6d8axpatkymfuepnyxkhqfv3xs6mup5z
Yeah, I know. Those are the lists I'm referring to.
I see. I'd rather have a manually curated list than an algo but I haven't looked at the contents yet. It requires constant maintainance to be kept up to date. It would be better of we had a community team maintain those lists.
I was open to the curated list idea (didn't think it could be worse than their trending algo), even though it's static, until I noticed that the people creating and maintaining the list don't really read here, or are off in some corporate bubble from X. This is just going to make Nostr seem even more boring than new arrivals already think it is. And why don't they hook up with the wine team, to make something cool and dynamic, based on topic heat maps, or something?
Primal be like, https://m.primal.net/HmNp.png
I know they're actually working on a ground-up rebuild of their onboarding including the suggested follows lists. It's always a question of choosing priorities from the list of good ideas (too many) to fit into the time available (too little).
Yeah, I know, but have you actually looked at the content of the lists they've come up with?
A thing I love with #plebstr, it's bugging on gifs, the display speed is at least https://v.nostr.build/8GGeg.mp4 x2 or x3 and that's exegerating everything 🤣
