OK, I know Nostr clients don't have "an algo", and that's supposed to be a good thing. But I have a very basic problem. I check nostr, and I only see stuff from the last few minutes. I would need to scroll a long way to see everything from the last 12 or 24 hours. Would it be a good idea for Nostr clients to allow me to label certain npubs as "always show first"? Like I don't want to miss any of their posts?

Clients allowing local personal "algo" would be nice. We have open source very small and efficient LLM's that users could use to filter and sort posts by topics that users prefer (all local on user hardware, nothing on line). Clients could offer "outsourcing" of said model (for example i am running larger LLM's on my gaming PC most of the time) so i could set up exterlan point and client would use it for algo if it's accessible, and if it's not, it would use smaller local one (similar thing is done by Immich....you can tell it to use AI from any IP you want, hosted by you or someone else, and if not accessible it will revert to local cpu/gpu). For more powerful stuff someone could offer "algo" service that would be paed vith zaps. Hosted efficient LLM that would filter content for others (by rules that users themselves set up). Those could be larger and more potent LLM models. I'm ok with "algo" as long as user can control it and choose and pick everything from local on device to remote ones by users rules.

#NoorNate has an option called Tribes. You can build a Tribe with people whose notes you don't want to miss, and it creates your own timeline with just those people. You don't even have to follow them for that.
I am hoping @primal fixes the ordering of posts. I don't understand why default isn't newest to oldest, with other options available. Looking at a 12 hour trending feed that the first post is 35 minutes, then the next might be 11 hours ago. Doesn't make sense. Makes it appear there is some sort of algorithm in place that wants you to see certain notes over others
This sort of feature would be great. I’d like a better solution to view posts based on categories and have notifications of when new posts arrive. It seems like the technology is there and we just need a better UX to guide users.
