Still new here and figuring out how to curate my feed.

I’m following pretty much everyone, because I’d rather have more voices and more content to engage with.

My theory is simple: if someone posts things I don’t like, or just spams, I’ll unfollow.

But in the meantime:
more content = more community.

Is this the right move? What have you tried?

I have been greedy to follow i don't follow no one. Only special people. I don't want my feed to be over crowded. I want small but engaging people. This idea is failing, i dont get much replies in what i post. And people vanish. So i think i will alsofollow your idea. You will grow. Your conten...

I am also new here...I first started by searching up certain topics and hash tags and saving those...and then following people who post in those topics. I will do the same as you...if I follow but then see something that doesn't jive with me...I'll unfollow.

All good suggestions. I’ll add checking out and/or following people from the feeds of those you follow. Open the profile of someone you’re following and see who they’re engaging with. The “friends of friends” concept.

Just allow your bitcoiner mindset to lead the way.

Yep I agree. Follow a bunch then whittle it down if it doesn’t fit 😊

Still figuring it out myself. Already muted a few.

spams, unfollow posts things you don't like? sometimes can be engaging 😉

Yeah, sane. --its easy to mute or unfollow later 🌻

Most clients let you log in with someone else's npub to give you a read only view of their feed. This can be a good way to identify more people you want to follow

At first I followed almost indiscriminately, but it got annoying because a lot of folks are just boosting primal trending page stuff so I was getting a lot of repetition. Then I tried following tons of hashtags and expanding my relays, but that leaves openings for a lot of spam. What I've settled ...

the only problem i have is how much time it takes to follow a lot of ppl. So i now look by the "most zapped" to add more people or some interesting comments from other notes

Search for content you're interested in and look for engaging people from there. Find someone that you really like their interactions and check their follow list. There are a ton of npubs here who don't just post engagement bait. Follow a ton then whittle it down.

make sure you're #following & using #hashtags to #find #people to #follow and to be #found.

I’m doing that as well! So far I like the content from the people I’m following! :) trying to build community on here

This seems to be the best way. Like you said, you can always curate your feed to how you like it in the future.

If a note resonates with you, check who zapped, liked, or replied. There are also follow feeds for topics, hashtags and algorithm feeds. You can mute words as well (like nsfw, etc)

It's a pretty weak take tbh. "More content", let's just embrace it all, spam and bots and ads, its all good, let the people decide! We base rules that allow free markets to flourish is a better start. Kinda like having a highway with lanes and speed limits. Establishing those bases are what allow fo...

follow the people following and being active that's my move

Welcome to Nostr. I did the same thing at first, and I'm still looking for more people to follow that share interesting content or have interesting insights or opinions. People to engage with. Following.space has some lists of people to follow that might be helpful. It's still early days on Nost...

That actually makes a lot of sense. I kind of approach it the same way cast a wide net first, then slowly refine as I figure out whose posts resonate with me and whose don’t. It feels more organic than trying to “optimize” my feed from the start. The cool part is, sometimes the unexpected voic...

I follow only a hand full of active people, and then browse threads, replies, profiles, the occational hashtag etc. Always end up in weird fringe but relevant places rather quickly that way. In other words, other than the barebones minimum i don't use feeds at all.

Welcome. Enjoy the journey and you’re inspiring me to show up again so thank you 😀

I use many different Nostr apps. I use Damus to browse my follow feed, Primal to browse my trending feed, and Jumble to browse relay and algo feeds.

I just do my thing… never been into being a big deal on SM, I’m here for oddballs, music lovers, privacy info and cats. Cat content is shockingly low but we’re early….
