 Anybody ever asks themselves..what do I post here now? 
Outside of maximalist #bitcoin posts and #bullish predictions, and technical jargon how else do you engage with the platform?   
 I post links to animators on youtube. Ofcourse via invidious links.

 Look at my profile.
I am a #btc maxi but i talk about lots of subjects. 
 Whatever's on my mind that I feel like sharing. GM/GN. Announcing podcast releases. Shitnoting.

I totally started out not knowing what to say around here, but just like in real life, the more I stick around, the more I find to say.  
 That's exactly how I'm feeling right now you literally described my process up to now lol 
 I am semi new to #nostr and I do feel like it’s way more of a “conscious” effort to engage with the platform. So much seems to get missed! 
 Yea I guess it's just because the technical crowd is here building the platform and so it takes a while for other industries and topics get into it 
 I’ve resorted to memes to kind of mix up conversation and topics, but people don’t really respond conversationally to memes. I guess I could post things that are more controversial, but so many people are likeminded here…most people just agree 🤣 
 Lol yea a lot of it is echo Chambers of the same conversation but I think like others said it's just about posting you and your own thoughts and whatever your interests are and eventually you'll find a flow for yourself  
 Post anything that interests you—news, homesteading, design, tech, privacy, photography, memes—use hash tags to get more reach like #plebs, #plebchain, #grownostr, and tags that relate to the content you are posting, and try boosting or quoting your notes again at a different time of the day to reach people in different time zones.
  
 That's what I am trying to do it has been a bit of a learning curve to get used to it but I think likely suggested to just post whatever is in my interest and thought process and share it with different hashtags. Thank you for engaging! 
 I will add that you really do not have to post a lot. I err on *less is more* and *quality over quantity*. There is so much data being dumped onto the internet every millisecond and unless I think I have something really worth sharing, I tend to refrain. More of my notes are comments on other people's notes, and, though I do not really care a ton about follower count, that is how I have gained more followers rather than with a lot of original notes. 
Your strategy depends on your purpose, i.e. why you are on here and what you hope to get out of it, but I would recommend not feeling a ton of pressure to post. Share what you like/know/are interested in/are reading/what you think will provide others value, and aim for quality engagement. 
 Great advice thank you! Thats what I'm leaning towards as well
