 Are there tools built into @damus or @primal that allow a user to one-click-follow the top50 most active users? 

Or other such nifty cheat codes?

I only recently discovered the most-popular-last24h button in Primal 😂

 Hmm good question. Nothing in Damus like that. I'm not sure about Primal. I haven't seen anything in the Primal app, but their web client might have something similar to that. Tagging @miljan in case he has a moment to chime in.

 Also tagging @elsat in case something like this might already be on Damus' roadmap.

 You can manually trigger always show onboarding to see the suggested follows onboarding prompt.

It’s hidden and not ideal today.

Want to improve discoverability post onboarding. https://image.nostr.build/d4990a40a8b39d3343ca078a5ec98285b4b303346b9120606fdf6fe1cccb8159.jpg

 For now practical advice is go to someone else’s follow list who you enjoy, and check their follows. 

Here is a snapshot of @corndalorian follows https://image.nostr.build/f3986207b267f8429c3eb2050b66888032e37169e1382b40a9f8ab7b1bc6920a.jpg

 Good advises, lucky I found this post as I have just started my jorney to Nostr. 

Still testing different web clients, as they all seem to have something good and something missing, so haven't found my favorite yet. And yes, I want client which works on web browser, in computer and in mobile phone as well. And it has to be able to handle Nsec.app sign in (sigh, Primal!) and Settings should be sticky even if you delete all the cookies as I do. Was going to test Alby extension on browser, just to find out that it requires Lightning wallet or node, which I do not have. Just another obstacle on the path which I would like to have avoided.

Just followed most of commenters in this post and realized that I have to improve my Bio, as I checked that for each one to make my final decision if pushing the Follow button or not.

I have to say, that getting started with Nostr is not the easiest task. Thanks for @garden_variety_jess and her article, that was a bit easier. Piece by piece it is coming up and running, but lot of little things to screw up before you can start interacting with people effectively.

On positive note I decided to add #introductions tag, so someone else can pick it up for speedier start.
