 Nice idea in theory. Requires friends in reality tho.

 It is a good way to circumvent client recommendations, which is weirdly mirroring the (mostly) crap recommendations 'legacy' social media has. You'd hope everyone knows by now that a client/app popular acc recommendations are best to ignore and finding people is the real game.

And this could certainly help:)

 ye most of the ppl i tell to try nostr end up following 5-10 big accs, adding 2-3 relays, and then churn after a couple days cause ‘feeds boring and i can’t find funny ppl’ 

i don’t think anyone’s got a good onboarding experience yet

 Yep it is needed somewhat more here than other social media platforms with the particular problems of nostr

 Some people might find it useful to be set up with a bunch of mute words already. I like the idea of having mute word packs in the style of emoji packs. 

Eg 
'the best b!tcoinisms mute word pack' 

Probably the most obvious one

 Sorry, just to add lol. It also depends on the user. A lot of people follow 1k+ accounts here, so not that useful. Slightly relies on a discerning user 😿

You do see people making follow recommendations Listr things too:) and putting in bio. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ blah blah lol
