3 years later an we still don't have a client that has no follow list... where all feeds are algo feeds based on likes and zaps and users don't bother building a follow network.

We needed a way to be able to track known (verified) npubs that doesn't impact your main feed. Amethyst acheives this rather well with the way it implemented user lists. Now when I get tired of an npub's noise, I move them from my followed list to my known list. I don't lose them but I hide their m...

I am assuming you mean client side? Because who is going to pay for all that compute for all non paying users? And client side is limited by both compute but bandwidth and storage, it can't recommend what it didn't download.
