A new alternative to TikTok that’s algo free, already has 1m+ users from what I understand

I was working on something I thought would help but unfortunately had to focus on other things. Essentially wanted to use a combo of clustering algorithms + LLMs to topic model all of nostr and create topical relays and clients focused on particular types of conversations. very similar to how subreddits work, but without any moderators. The clustering algos/LLMs would organize content based on embeddings (replacing moderators) and it would be much easier to find the stuff you care about without knowing who to follow. clustering might be better bc it's not as "black box", but it's a great way to use machine learning without going down the recommendation algorithm slope

similar to my reply on another post; clustering + LLMs could topic model all of nostr and create topical relays and or clients focused on particular types of conversations. kinda similar to how subreddits are, but no moderators, just have AI sort/organize content based on embeddings - would make it much easier to find the stuff you care about without knowing who to follow

unfortunately got away from it - but wanted to make something on Nostr that used clustering to automatically create "subreddits" and organize conversations; basically unsupervised Reddit. Could also use LLMs to do smaller matching processes, but you'd be able to essentially post into the void, not having to know "where" to post, and it gets automatically sorted into the most relevant place based on semantics Could even do real-time group chats and stuff; blindly post something, if somebody else posts something similar, you all get dumped into a closed room to talk about it

I'm less interested in that, more interested in the claim "[protocols] don't reliably deliver what we need for a mainstream, video-forward app" I'm not too familiar

Hey Vitor, would love your take on UpScrolled? They’re taking off because of the TikTok algo drama, but didn’t know how accurate this statement was (also noticed they didn’t mention nostr)

Nostr devs I need your input on UpScrolled “UpScrolled is now the most downloaded mobile app in the United States! In the last hour it surpassed ChatGPT, Gemini and Threads”. Specifically not built on a protocol (didn’t mention nostr) for performance reasons. Thoughts?

That’s unfortunate
