There are some good sub reddits. Nothing can't also be found on dedicated topic forums.
The dungeonsynth Reddit and the fieldrecording Reddit are both quite useful.
It's also useful to add 'reddit' at the end of a search term find answers to stuff where Google is totally failing.
But I'm not an active user tbh
There's plenty of news feeds on here. You can usually find RSS accounts. If not add them yourself:

There's quite a few, but definitely add your own news sources.
Not really clued up on the best feeds for this tbh

https://tremblewithjoy.bandcamp.com/album/born-trembling
Tremble With Joy is a new collaboration between Cinder (Cindytalk), Michael Anderson (Drekka), Mark Trecka, and Michael Carlson (remst8). Their debut, >Born Trembling<, comprises two longform, complementary experimental compositions.

What kind of state are you in? (Not personally but I am also hoping you are well obviously). Red, blue, swing?
Do you have a general feel of the vibe out and about? Suppose it's hard to tell.
The Trending Sidebar aka 'Boring posts read-receipts of the most followed accounts on nostr', just doesn't cut it for discovery. Thanks nostr:nprofile1qqswgvmv65ja7706f5a0xe8ajcqdfvgdeeppt2jvx0kh06sggg6ykyqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq3uamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9emkjun9v3hx2apwdfcz75extm3 for providing an alternative on Voyager:)

Lol I get that recommended to me all the time. Um normal hmm
Jacket potatoes are normal. I've never seen them before. They're not my mates or anything lol:)
I am really I to jacket potatoes. Chilli con carne filling especially:)
Cheese and beans on a jacket potato. It's good. I'm not keen on adding tuna to this.
But I'm also totally not against it.
Have you not had like chips and a chilli con carne and cheese? It's basically the same but the chips are a jacket potato ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Found this via the #graf hashtag, you never know what's out there on nostr 👀 worth exploring hashtags, maybe especially the non suffixed ones:)
Looks like they may have left tho unfortunately.

But maybe not necessarily going all to one person/ company. Like the site could be bought by one person, the equipment by another etc etc. Not sure tho.
It is now your responsibility to make it for here. Sorry. Those are the rules

'There is no algo here. Welcome to freedomtech muthafuckahs.'
'Sir, please. Your appointment time is over. We will have to charge you for an extra hour if you don't get up'.
Jack struggled off the bed, accidentally tucking the plastic hygiene protection layer into his jeans as he did so.
Bleary eyed, he exited the room and passed the cheerful receptionist. He scanned the lightning tipping machine.
'-1000sats to Ayahuasca Enema plc.' bleeped his phone.
'There is no algo here' he muttered to himself as a machine elf opened the door for him.
To be continued.....
Just quoting this but really I'm forking the conversation a bit:)
I don't know anything about the project, the dev, the funding criteria of OpenSats... (Or anything really tbhlol.) I think these reservations about circle jerkery are reasonable.
Generally speaking (I'm not saying that this is what is happening this scenario, more a possibility) I also quite like the idea of an alternative funding body for the arts. Not really for me to say if the project in question is more an art project or not. But it's the sort of project which could function as a highly shareable (some could argue gimmicky, again I'm reserving judgement) marketing vehicle to get into social feeds beyond nostr, into tech press etc. As an art project. Just a possible view on this.
But generally speaking on art projects, whether this is one or not. I think patronage of the arts by this sort of grants allocation couldnbe interesting and fucntion as marketing. Alternative arts funding is a recurring thought in my limited travels around bitcoin (crypto) socials. There's a lot of moaning about the state of arts (film, literature, sound, visual..). And maybe the slogan 'bitcoin fixes this' could actually work here lol. Bitcoiners and shitcoiner traders with insane wealth could be patrons of the arts on a significant scale?
There are lots of common in-jokes about the state of art grants and the box ticking exercises - mention or shoehorn some of these: community-focused, diaspora, queer, decolonisation etc.
Something like OpenSats could be an alt arts grants org without these silly and derided tick boxes, maybe? (I personally wouldn't trust a bit/shitcoiner grant allocation team, but would prefer a 3rd party body. Bit/shitcoiners, from what I can tell seem to like twee bullshit Banksy 'street art'. No offence lol).
Obviously this could be done on a small scale with v4v or buying off individual artists. But on a larger scale I think it could be culturally significant. And it's also marketing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just an #unmarketing #idea
nostr:nevent1qqsrc07j2mvp0nvl6pq09d5r6d3tlt9zjqpjwaymn24pcs5hvf3cqcsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgs9phjf9nl9guj9phc6q9m0makezh5hedwelrf7enhh6f0lp2y8rhsrqsqqqqqpwn75f9
I think generally I wouldn't onboard anyone to nostr, there is no point (perhaps I don't know anyone irl who would stay here/ be interested). People who stay seem to find and seek nostr. You can pretty much tell who will stay. And it's not the people posting 'really excited to be here, can't wait to use this freedom tech'. The people who stay tend to have a slightly um... whacko edge to them lolol.
So yeah there is a struggle to find people to follow, get followers and have interesting discussions about things you care about. Often absolutely no one is talking about topics you are interested in, or you might find a stray post here and there, maybe from months ago. (I have to repeat that unlike what people say I don't think this is not a user problem, it's not a matter of them not having an algo to help them, it's just often not here to be found).
And yeah this often leads to 'paying your rent in bitcoin', the parallel example is on Instagram where you have to post some activism as rent to use the platform. (Although on Instagram you might get 'called out' for not paying your activism rent, luckily not something that happens on nostr if you don't make a 'bitcoin post'). But yeah bitcoin posts are the rent you pay to some extent for exposure. Or appealing to the Old Heads - replying to posts from large follower accounts. Some of whom are just carrying over clout from bitcointwitter, some just got here early and accumulated followers when it was quiet and posting some screenshots of trending page Instagram dead memes was enough to be highlighted, presumably ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
But yeah the meta of Nostr is interesting in a way lol. And it hasn't really adapted. The trending notes are just the most followed accounts, the most followed accounts are who clients recommend, clients recommend according to a presumption that you want bitcointwitter2. And so it the feedback loop strengthens. Want to curry favour easily? Make a lame bitcoin 'meme'.
However this also makes it a lot easier to spot potentially interesting people who aren't doing this. People stand out by talking about OtherTopics.
It's just not reflected in the mechanics of trending posts or (potentially) Interesting Posts feeds (which doesn't actually exist afaik).
May as well mention again that a (potentially) Interesting Posts or a better Trending Post could include likes as a % of followers number. So you don't just get the same old read receipted large follower accounts posting absolutely anything and it being considered 'trending'.
This was a long reply lol.
We need more of these bots. Sopranos, lain, ergo proxy, true detective(s1) 🤔 what else?. Gotta love the serendipity:)
