 What's the flow you have in mind that best creates this effect? 
 It's worth testing to see if generating key is an important step or not. I think Damus and Primal both have you save your key. Snort on the other hand doesn't mention the key (by design).  Just need to measure the funnel entrance to exit (got to the feed) for each app to see which is more effective. My guess is they are roughly the same. 

As far as retention goes, I don't think knowing about keys impacts it, but content does significantly. If you sign up to something and see things you are not interested in, what's the point of sticking around? This is the super important discovery step we need to solve. Right now you just see some bitcoiners and in some cases trending people being recommended, but people often dont follow anyone, they just skip. Some clients offer hashtag following, but again, some people just skip all of that. I think this is why Twitter forced people to pick some topics so they could show a decent starting feed. 
 Tiktok solves this with their algo. They don't need to recommend topics because their engine learns very quickly what you like and what you skip over just by measuring video completion duration and probably some other things learned on other user cohorts similar to your browsing behavior.  
 What does nostr have that activitypub doesn't? What an you do to highlight that and make it super obvious why this is better/ more fun/ more rewarding? 
 Admins on ActivityPub are little dictators. They will ban you for saying one thing they disagree with, then your whole account is gone forever. Nostr lets you move freely. That's critical. It's a game changer. 
 Nostr fixes dictator server admins.

 Reddit also has this problem and it's very frustrating.

Also by the way, there's already some AI client-based algorithms for filtering content right? 
 Irish and Snort have feed tabs for this as well as Primal. 
 They can also just turn the server off, or they can be compelled to turn the server over to spooky people. Nostr fixes that, too.

 Well, I don't know what you can do about little dictators, but if zaps are powerful, perhaps adveritise them in a way that makes users create a nostr account? 
 @jack we need vibrating panties post haste 

You’re welcome for me being the one to say it … again 🤣 
 for the zaps? I think that could work 🤣 zap to vibrate 
 Absolutely I suggested this months ago. 

Oh that’s right I had Jack muted cause …

Exactly. Zaps ⚡️ for pleasure … then to various rings … etc . 
 well, I dont' think you need to manufacture anything. arent there existing products that you could just configure to work with zaps? need a bit of hacking. 
 Exactly My Luv 💚 exactly it’s also beautiful 
 Idk how many times I’m gonna post this before some dev links the two 
https://buttplug.io/ 
 Cmon devs! Do something! #sexynostr 🤣🤣🤣 ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 
 99% certain this could be done with lnbits 😂😅 
 Like can we free the cam girls from being slaves to dumb shitty websites? 
 OK honest to God that’s why I seriously do want to talk to others in higher positions cause 

YES WE DAMMMMMMM CAN!!! 
 All the tech is freely available now but nobody wants to be "that" dev I think  
 Oh my God 

(Throws her hands in the air) 

When I say that LOVE will ultimately prove to be the greatest form of currency in the world 
 
APPARENTLY IMA gonna have to be the one to teach others self-love, and how important that is as well  🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Truly, others better already be doing this or my dream walking is suspect as hell. 🤣 
 I gotta find the old stuff where I wanted somebody to make me a thing that I could sit on and listen to music … then SOLACE MMMM

 Good riddance 😂✌🏽
