I initially thought of communities as something that could only be done as a top-down process. Invite only, relay mods as community mods, etc because they lack fine grained control. Also that communities and mods should interact with relays like they'd interact at the community garden

But instead of that, which is more imposing, let users individually create their social bubbles. Instead of starting out with global (an arguably worse experience off the bat) or your "followers and replies" which is still basically a smaller global, only mitigated through blacklists to not see them in your feed, why not use whitelists?

 I know npub1 posts about math and npub2 posts also publishes about math, why not just put them under the list "math" and a DVM can use that list to listen and classify for "math" - and that's all you see. Or if you want, enable some WOT where if they occur in similar lists as other people they follow, to also add them into it.
