 I feel this!! The problem right now is that Nostr is structured in a way that forces people to follow individuals (like Twitter), as opposed to communities centered around a specific topic (like Reddit). Although following individuals is nice, I hope to see a future on Nostr where people can more easily connect to relays that are focused on specific topics as well as follow individuals. This may lead to better feeds, or at least ways to filter out relays that you want to ignore for the time being. I follow hashtags but it's not ideal right now. Improving the search function may also help with this. 

I too feel compelled to filter out content for my mental well-being. Hopefully as more people voice their concerns then adjustments will be made. ♥️

 You are not connected to a lightning wallet! 😭 I was trying to zap you LOL. 😅

To your point, 💯 agree.  I prefer to focus on the topic that I want like Reddit too or discussion. In a way Amethyst has this functionality so I will probably look into it on more detail on how it works. 

On the other hand, I found this on #nostr get started. I will look into it.

 Some clients do let you search hashtags and you can follow those. I'm using nostter.app and messages with certain hashtags do show up in my feed. 
 I had a look at the nostter.app and I like how easy to search the hashtag. Is there a mobile app other than web client? 
 Alas, no. However I find it easy to run in a browser on my phone.
