 Who do I need to follow here? My “Latest” feed is a bit dead a lot of the time.

Help me fix it 🫂 
 Me. 
 Ah maybe I followed on X? I remember following you somewhere 😅 
 Yeah, we had a conversation about dice rolls on there. I've since went Nostr only. 
 I had this experience when I first came on, but with some time, I now get a lot more interaction than I used to on X. 
 Steal someone else's follow list is the best plan 
 I looked at who the people I follow are following.

Another good option is to search for the # that interests me.
e.g. #privacy #3dprinting #linux … 
 I have mixed feelings about the method but you can open a person's profile and follow all their follows, and then curate.

In the end I didn't enjoy this, and would have rathered aggressively follow anyone who seems of interest, then curate.

For me, I followed all of nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgunfvd5x2uewdaexwtcpzemhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2un9d3shjtnrdakj7qg5waehxw309aex2mrp09skymr99ehhyee0qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejge8xahm  follows. 
 Sprinkle a photo of my dog in there. She’s a bitcoiner too. 
 This guy @[ARCHIVED] Jay for sure. 
 10/10 would follow again 
 Scope my follower list. 
 🙋🏻 
 Not sure what client you're on, but Primal makes it pretty easy for me to see trending and most-zapped posts, which is a great way to see what's in the zeitgeist. 
 Its up to your personal taste buddy.  Pick someone you think you synchronize with, and follow all their followers.  Then remove the ones you dont like one at a time. 

No ai telling you what you should follow here.  Its up to you. 
 Follow some hashtags  
 Then curate accordingly  
 if you want more traffic look at global 
 I would recommend myself. 💪 
 What are your interests ??? Maybe I know an active user who can recommend you 
 Reply guy here. My advice would be to go outside and get some sunshine. Maybe touch some grass. Dig a hole 
 Me me me me me me me me

But only if you really want to, I’m not bothered 
 I follow some pretty solid people. Take a look at who I'm following and select a few.  
 you should try following tags that interest you such as #privacy #foss #linux and such 
 How do you follow tags? 
 in my nostr client i can just click a tag from a post and then prees the follow button, i can simply make a search for posts with a specific tag beforehand. 
 I find myself looking at 'trending' or 'popular' on primal when my feed feels dead  
 I started back when you did skeptic Sundays, by following anyone who replied there with anything interesting.  
 Seth, I’m about to buy a Pixel 7a to flash it with GrapheneOS. Wanted to ask what’s your preference between new and certified refurbished? In terms of security.

Are there any risks with refurbished? I’m looking at backmarket . com

Curious to get your thoughts
