I am aware that the current paradigm for Nostr is smart client/dumb server.
However do you think it might be useful to have some open-sourced algorithm that some "smarter" relays could use and serve notes for different optional feeds - something like "Explore"?
If you subscribe to a relay of specific kind, you can get a specific feed. There will be no tracking, data mining, personalisations, etc., just an algo recommending stuff based on a publicly available data like hashtags, number of likes, reposts, number of account followers, etc.
In the future when Nostr inevitably grows its user base, there will be more and more people trying share their opinion or find their tribe. If the general recommendation is to just reply to people, then the replies will be flooded with low quality responses, which will be just people trying to be noticed. Having something like "Explore" could help people find what they are actually interested in and engage with it. Interested in music? Hit that #music hashtag and get algorithmically crafted notes relevant to the topic, not just #music notes with "ORDER BY timestamp DESC"
Just my 2 sats, what do you think?
