After using Nostr for a long time, I found that we don't actually need algorithmic recommendations. The chronological display of content makes people feel relaxed. When all the apps in the world are full of algorithmic recommendations, we actually have no shortage of good content. In the era of information explosion, we don't need so much content either. What we lack is pure trust and sincere exchange of ideas between people. Good content will be recommended and forwarded by trusted people, and Zap is the best way to reward it. And those who can join Nostr are already the best people selected by Bitcoin and Freedom ideas.

The longer I am in Nostr, the more I love #Nostr 🫂💜🤙

That sounds really nice, but nah. Anything can be displayed in chronological order and chronological order _is also an algorithmic recommendation_. And Other Stuff needs navigation or you can't find anything.

I have been on Nostr for just a few weeks and content discovery is definitely a challenge but that could be a function of active users being limited at the moment. I definitely do not want what I am running from - predatory algorithms. But I do find myself wanting to craft my own algo for discovery ...

So what you’re saying?…Trusted people ARE the algorithm.

Well said! Thank you 🙏

Enjoy this sentiment As long as there’s a way to stop it being gamed, the “most zapped” content is the best in theory Plus creativity happens in spurts, so the idea an app is constantly pushing the best stuff with the algorithm to keep your attention isn’t a natural process Nostr feels...

I don’t disagree. I’d also want to explore the possibility of choosing from a multitude of algos and seeing which one works best. Maybe also having the ability to customize your own

The only algorithm you need is the chronological one. That way, when you open your software, you know how much you need to catch up on, and then once you get caught up on it, you can close the software and go about the rest of your day. That's how it should be. You don't have to wonder about whether...

I think it is good when we aren't a lot of users and notes. But with mass usage you will have a lot of notes and spam... For the moment i agree, but i think this will have to change with usage, and allow user to personalize their feed.

I loved Instagram when it was its chronological feed before Facebook bought it. It was a platform for people that got out and did things to see what other people were out doing and to connect. Facebook had its way with it, now it’s broken for me. Abandoned it along with the others.

I wish there were options for simple, selectable algorithms like a randomizer for what my follows posted across the day to shuffle the timezones.

You just need to go Global on Nostr to get content, no need for algorithms like other social media.

* that YOU don't actually need algorithmic recommendations 😉 most people will have some communism leftovers for a while, no worries

After using Nostr for a short time (a little over 24 hours), I agree.

Caleb Gregory · 42w

Totally agree with this. Just got on Nostr at 4 PM for the first time today and have plenty of chronological content to catch up on. It’s nice to see what I want to see and then pop over on the trends a bit to see what discussion is going on. Nostr is the future and I’m pumped to be here.

Recommendation algorithms are the invention that keeps people under control when it comes to information. I'm a white Western European, disabled (governmentally speaking), straight guy who knows what this is like, as I was destroyed by Instagram's algorithm one time. It stinks to high heaven like a...

False. You only think this is true because how quiet it is here.

I genuinely dislike Nostr's cronogical display of content. I wish my app was optimized to feed me posts from more different users. My attention budget just can't afford to give one person so much attention just because they were the most recent person to post, or just because they post more than oth...
