It has been about a week, and I have definitely noticed a drop off in activity. I'm not sure if a bunch of people are still stuck only seeing things from big relays, if half the users got chased off by bots, or if I have hit new levels of boring this week 🫠 ...maybe it's all 3.

I ended up in this long conversation yesterday about the constant tug of war between life and entropy; the idea that life strives for efficiency without much foresight into the consequences of said efficiency. Some things are better at it than others. Humans are pretty bad at it, but we manage to make up for it with adaptability.
I left that conversation thinking about how screwed up we are. In a perfect reality, the technofuturists would be leveraging microplastics for longevity. Or maybe they are and I just don't know about it. 😅

Hey Kip, to help with 1.... in Amethyst, set wss://spatia-arcana.com/inbox as a "public inbox" and get rid of all the other ones there EXCEPT the nostr.land ones. Then click save. You're an SA member so you get to enjoy some nice things. It should help to clean up your notifications in Amethyst. We might have a few bots leak in but its a more normal, rational amount of them lol. It won't help at all in Primal.
Maybe if we can figure out 1, then 2 will be a little easier for you do deal with.

Portable identities that you have complete responsibility for securing, clicked right away. No one likes the current systems they're stuck using. There was enough correlation between existing companion products & password managers to different nostr clients & signers that I didn't have to make the cold comparisons, they did. All I had to explain was that you can't plead for help if you screw up. I had an in on this part, since that's where the conversation started.
There was disconnect about how notes are stored and spread. I think they were initially equating to either one-place-total-data-control or everything-everywhere, with no evolving middle ground. I didn't realize that until I started comparing feeds from my relay set to other people's. Questions came when they noticed duplicated content, which led to more questions about why the feeds were also different. Once we got outbox and "natural" distribution patterns down, all the intentional distribution methods I had shown suddenly seemed worth attention. We went back through a couple clients and relays and did some feed comparison & republishing. Then things really started to make sense.
Curation that didn't require being in a club to participate in the discussion got more attention than I thought it would.
The pyramid main feed was another that surprised me. I have 8 or 10 people outboxing there, so I wasn't expecting that to make much impression, but I got "So this one is similar to what early Facebook was about?" I was like, " Umm... Kinda!"
Trending type things had mixed interest, the smaller scale of that was said to feel more personalized but we don't have a big T trending, we only have bitcoin and ai stuff so... who knows.
The WoT filtered discovery streams were immediately said to feel similar to scrolling current social media platforms. That made it easy to compare social graph dictated content to algorithms.
We compared my home feed to scoped relay feeds, then compared those to filtered discovery feeds, and ended on the Damus relay and Amethyst global. The idea of scaling how far in or out you want to venture made sense that way. I think I got lucky because everything worked and the "global" feeds did not disappoint in getting my point across. I got a lot of questions about how to find interesting relays outside of my predetermined "nOasis" and how to get started someplace similar without a "me". They gave ideas around that, like relays having something akin to meta tags & instead of choosing from a list of topics or people at onboarding, having a 'type & search for interests' that seeks out that information from known relays. I don't know if that would work but you probably do. 😅
I'm kinda surprised I didn't get questions about finding specific people. Maybe I didn't highlight that aspect enough. Or maybe they didn't care. The latter is entirely possible. None of us are very pop culture oriented.
I didn't get much into specialized relays or the other stuff. I demonstrated Alexandria. Their publication visualizer impressed right away. ZapCooking's cook books were a hit, too. I mentioned chat groups, video conferencing, and forms. That brought up questions about separating work/personal. Lists seemed like an obvious solution (aside from separate keypairs) but I couldn't think of any other stuff that is leveraging other other stuff, so we wrapped up there with my 'that's where things are at right now' closure.
I don't know if you wanted a full essay about it, but there ya go. Honestly, we jumped around between 5 or 6 different clients and probably a individual dozen relay amd everything worked. That alone feel like a huge win for everyone involved in creating this stuff.

2026-02-12 05:55:33 UTC

I just gave my first little tour of this half-hypothetical mini-nostr ecosystem, with a bunch of the examples that I have available from across different relays and clients. I had to use words as the glue in some parts and complete conjecture around other parts, but I had enough tangible stuff make this an engaging explanation.
It went really well. I recieved a few suggestions that I need to think through. I got to end with "I'll let you know when it's ready."

Topics are only part of the equation & clearly a dominant part of home feeds. It's just not defined what the home feed topic is going to be at any given time, or for how long.
I am confident that if people can discover and explore different ways of browsing variously elevated content, they'll find things that interest them and be able to create their own home feeds and relay sets that resonate, whether that be by topics, personalities, or cooperative tasks. (Or many other possibilities)
Some examples:
This relay is a discovery stream of relatively random WoA filtered reposts:
wss://aplaceinthesun.nostr1.com
This one is 22 topics, also filtered:
wss://aquaticchickentheory.nostr1.com
This is a community of people:
wss://spatia-arcana.com
( @nprofile…ap42 has been testing... that's our thing-of-the-day😂)
This is what's popular among that community:
wss://spatia-arcana.com/lux
This one is content fully curated by community members around one topic. It doesn't accept notes written there and all replies go to the authors' inboxes:
wss://spatia-arcana.com/favorites
This one is a loosely curated, topic-agnostic feed, with content voted in by a large group: wss://relays.land/spatianostra
It also functions with a no-write but outbox reply method (I am just a participant and advocate on this one.)
All of these things together create a little ecosystem that covers discovery, community vibe, trending, and topics. You'll see some content overlap. That's a result of the community still being rather small. Onboarding into the community is still best done through engagement, creating repoire, and getting invited... which can start in any of these feeds. The community can help itself to grow through members engaging in the discovery feeds and contributing to the curation efforts.
I haven't left you a lengthy, nuanced reply in a long time. I hope you'll hop on Jumble or Nosotros and explore these over the course of a few days, maybe give some thought to what I'm presenting here. (Take a break from the AI craziness😉🫂) These are just mine (and only part of what I'm working at creating). Other people have different ideas and different patterns emerging from what they are building, too. Once we figure out a clean way to create sharable little samplers, this is going to be what makes Nostr sticky. I'm sure of it. Following people will be a much better experience when the emphasis on doing so is more aligned with a user's preferences rather than trying to either find needles in the haystack or conceding to what the dominant culture demands.
(I have to add that all the real work being done here is from @nprofile…xuyp @nprofile…nggv @nprofile…m8kr and @nprofile…tm2c . I'm just using the tools available to me to create an example of what's possible.)

That's funny. I was just thinking this morning about a fairly plain app that I use regularly. It works pretty well, but feels completely unintuitive. Regardless of knowing the placement of its 5 or 6 options, I'm always tapping the wrong buttons. 😅

Kinda wanna pour aluminum pieces anyway, now though. Sounds fun.
