Helping out new users over the last days made me realize that the largest hurdle for new nostriches is building your own feed. Most users expect there to be some sort of out of the box feed (curated by an algorithm).
Currently most clients are not doing much to support users to find new profiles to follow. Hashtags are the only way to find content and profiles, but if you are new, you don't even know the hashtags.
IMHO we need:
- Suggested Hashtags for new users (I've created Getting Started (npub1ceq…6k9l) to spread this information)
- Trending hashtags (for news and current events)
- A way to subscribe to hashtags
- Suggested profiles (not just the top 50, but based on topics).
What are your thoughts on this?
