Nostr generally has poor discovery. I don't have many moments on here where I find new people to follow that I don't already know from other platforms.

Thankfully, being decentralized, the client that comes up with more effective algos will have an advantage and will get copied. I just wish there were more interesting data-driven attempts at discovery being tried.

Try #Amethyst and go in the "conversation" section. There you will find a feed with all the comments and reply of your follows, and see with who they interact and much more discussion and notes with different topics. It's like global but filtered by your follws signals.

Agree. Both content and user discovery need a lot of improvement. It's slowly happening with some clients. It will get better. I hope this year becomes the year of discovery and the year of outbox models.

shame on you. how can you support algos

It seems like we’ve reached the pinnacle of social media, yet we’re constantly seeking something more while growing weary of being exploited for our data and having our privacy invaded.

Use the search bar. Global search is one of twitter's superpowers

Content discovery is a challenge, but it also takes effort. Like walking into a party where you don’t know anyone, you may have to introduce yourself to others and follow people as an #introductions to meet new people and discover their interests (for now). This makes the #nostr experience better ...

Agree, poor discovery is the most annoying part about nostr at the moment.

Jimmysong, "I don't have many moments on here where I find new people to follow" Could it be that most people are uninteresting, working their day job, returning home, taking vacations, hardly reading books, or only the MSM promoted ones, getting sick and not understanding why, still jabbing their ...
