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?
Because if you really don't have a reason to follow someone specifically and you only want to see a ton of content to filter out later then you should really just be browsing some nice relays.
quotingMaybe following people is overrated.

It's totally doable to use Nostr by just following relays instead. You can get a very nice and well-curated feed today by just browsing wss://nostr.wine or wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com -- and this is because basically no one even knows or is aware of this mode of doing things and we don't have the relay infrastructure necessary to enable such flows, so it has a lot to improve.
Maybe we should really only be following at most 50 people each, only the people we want to ensure we will not lose sight of, and people who have been banned or inhabit a different ecosystem (of relays) than the one we frequent the most. Aside from that just following a bunch of relays, either grouped together or in different tabs.
