 I can see Custom Feeds being very useful for onboarding:

One feed with trending twitter-like posts
One with memes only
One with #introductions etc
Some more Topic focused

 Sometimes I think the community's hate for "algorithms" blocks us from developing cool options like those. :(  
 Why is it anything other than just following keywords or hashtags?

This is not even everything you could customise manually.
Now add DVM's as custom feed creators.  
 That's way over my head right now. I'm still a n00b and just getting used to using amethyst. Lol  
 This is just kind:1 😂 
 which client is this 
 Call it Curation 😉

Everything is an algorithm. 
 What? My impression is that people are positive to "algorithms" as long as they're not forced upon them. Let users choose how to curate their own feeds. 
 That's kind of my point. By requiring the toggle we are shutting down a lot of cool/specific user experiences people could implement. I know a lot of design/devs that create a single experience and a toggle would destroy it. 

Instead of requiring toggles in all clients, we should be more flexible to move between clients. Some clients can have toggles, while others don't. If you like them, you like them.  
 So much in agreement with this.

Normalizing moving through different clients at this stage is very important

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast” 
 Furthermore, compromising on your product’s vision with a bunch of optionals and toggles is very problematic. Specially when this is open source and open networks and you can implement whatever vision you have.

A lot of the success of Apple is not comprising with democratic design and executing on someone’s vision, everything else be damned 
 I agree. I think it's important that clients are honest about it though (if it isn't totally obvious) and doesn't just hide the fact that the algorithm applied some rules to what is filtered out of their feed.  
 Algorithm away, as much as you want. As long as you put a toggle on/off on it in the client, I'll be fine with it.

 Haha yop, exactly why filtering on a hashtag is not refined enough imo.
Customisation goes way beyond that luckily nostr:note1h5su6d6ah6q4yt5qvg3z8vlqhcjzsr6dey20npsuvzy0k4j8ccfq6dkupd

 "bot"? 
 Not only for onboarding, but also for delving while being an experienced Nostrich. I like how texts' highlights in highlighter can be filtered by follows and network (follows of follows) . If I am a physicist (for example) and I'm trying to gain insights into a text, I can follow an authority in the subject and then see the highlights of their follows. Then I can follow some of then and my "network" eventually grows stronger and stronger over that topic to become a supercharged source of information 
 Exactly! Unprecedented high signal in the feedback loop of curated insights + curated community. 

Highlighter is the perfect example of that
