I wonder how a better popular posts feed could be made and how feasible it is 🤔
I think it should have a few factors. So eg instagram's average post Follower count/Likes is between 3-5%. (Which is how you can often tell who has paid followers). I'm not sure what it is on nostr (maybe further complicated here with all those bot follows lol).
But let's just add that as one factor amongst others. Say eg an account with 20k follows on here has a post with 20 likes. That is considered average and unremarkable. (Likes as read receipts, and potentially even some zaps). But an account with 100 followers getting 10 likes is considered popular (again just as one weighing factor of popular/trending).
Obviously there is the issue with bot likes and gaming which would need to be taken into account. Reposts number is probably also important. Zaps too.
I think extra weight could be given to likes, reposts and zaps from accounts not following the original note (again taking account for gaming the system and bots).
And there are some instances where posts have sparked a lively conversation and debate. These posts sometimes have zero likes or zaps, but dozens of replies. Maybe there could be something that detects paragraph replies with proper sentences lol, to avoid showing good mornings and hellthreads and gaming the system.
🤔🤔🤔maybe this is more a DVM for interesting notes rather than popular notes(?)
But yeah it's an interesting problem I hope someone is working on this. Bringing interesting notes to the surface. Rather than the same old faces.
What other ways can this be done? Is anyone actually working on this? #asknostr

WoT News
We find someone in our WoT, someone unemployed or has some time, and can get to Springfield, Ohio easily.
We put them up in a hotel and give them a stipend for food and other expenses.
They keep a video diary, speak to some locals in cafes and bars.

What's the best budget (sim-only) android phone, new not refurb you can get atm? WIth priorities of longevity, battery life.
Like around let's say around £200.
I see there this Nothing phone people seem to recommend online, seems to be a spinoff of OnePlus, has Nothing OS (on top of android or something?), but people warn it only has a guarantee of 2 years of updates.
I've had my phone for like 5 years, and it's finally playing up:(

I suppose in this scenario (I'm not saying it will or should happen btw) the article the person would have read would also mention this invite codes mechanism. Not sure how that would work but um yeah lol. They would still need to go somewhere for an invite code. Or use a pow service like special purpose version of a pow posting service like getwired.app to ask for one?

2024-09-06 11:38:27

Nostr invite codes? Is that a silly idea?
You could have receiver pays fees for people who already have sats. Or sender paid fee for people without sats. With a very small fee. (What is even a small fee that is also a spam deterrent?)
How silly is this idea? Possibly incredibly silly and impractical #asknostr

Do paid relays stop this, I mean even the ones with like 21sat fee or something small? Invite codes to relays?
I'm just throwing out silly ideas as a non-techy lol
If say a small fee relay was effective against spam you could could have some sort of weird system of donating the fee to a zero sats noob.
I don't know🥲

That is also terrible for onboarding the (currently almost mythological) non-bitcointwitter newbies, who for the most part join here on zero sats.

You're not a new account... Are you? I feel like you must be an Old Head lol.
I think there is a bit of slight sidestepping or 'not getting at the heart of the problem' as you put it.
The same with when people say in reply to not finding content and they say 'just follow more people' or imply they're lazy without an algo to feed them. This mostly solves nothing but brings you more of the same, you can try to find it all you can but there are many many topics / content which just aren't here, nor meaningful conversations around them. It's not really a user error as implied but some answers.
