 No one gives AF about your follower/following ratio. Everyone here is a visionary.

FOLLOW MORE PEOPLE -> Better experience 💜

 Have any recommendations on who to follow? 
 I just follow active people here and will trim as I need to 
 I would say go to accounts that you like and check out who they're following. Look at those accounts and see if you like any of their content. Also make sure to purge occasionally. 
 Yah I follow a lot of people. However, the experience you get on one client vs. another determines a lot of the outcomes. 
The fact that Primal is set to default always show Trending 24hr is super annoying... Because there is literally no movement indeed for more than 24 hrs... The fact that I have to change settings is an extra move that's just not great UI. There should be a setting for defaulting the feed to whatever my preference is. And maybe there is but I don't know about it. 
 
 I agree and hope for more algorithmic flexibility

 I can't remember the last time I ran out of notes. It was definitely very early on in my use of Nostr. 

I will agree that the content variety here is limited to pretty much Bitcoin and Nost (with art, music, etc sprinkled in). But we are early and people could post different content here if they wanted. I'm guessing most of us on here have interests outside of Bitcoin and Nostr.

I'm considering putting more time into #cigar content, for example. Hopefully there are some cigar people here already, but at least there will be content for them if they do come aboard. I think that's really the solution here. People have to invest in Nostr now even if it won't immediately pay off. This includes posting various types of content and curating a follow list that pays off at some point.

 In her defense, she definitely has a point. Sometimes less is more. I've started unfollowing people that spew out notes and noise  
 dilligence is rewarded 🫡 
 😅 
 not pointing this AT her, just using it as an example 
 👍 
 If you want to have stuff working, stay below 2000 follows. Most relays start puking above that. 
 thanks for the context! 
 Good idea! I should follow niftynei to start :P 
 While true, it feels like the majority are consolidating and interacting with the same 20 people based on all of the trending lists. So spending an hour scrolling for something is not a good user experience and will only get worse if she follows more and they exhibit the same behaviors. 

Like I saw a GM post reposted like 15 times and it was effectively low value spam. I'd challenge anyone that comes through here to get out and actually interact with people outside the normal handful of people. Or these folks will fuck off back to Twatter.
