People > Algorithms 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?

An important thing I've come to learn about Nostr: The advice to build up a huge follow list is wrong. Cultivating a list of people with good viewpoints and honest intentions is a much more valuable. Follow people you interact with regularly who reciprocate your interactions with them. Follow for follow leaves you with a feed of low quality content, and a questionable list of follows riddled with possible bots and scammers. It is true that this is more difficult initially than platform based algorithm driven social media, but leaves you with a much more rewarding experience. The key to Nostr is honest human interaction, not legacy social media growth hacks to grow follower counts. #nostr #grownostr
