 kudos! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ₯‚πŸ₯‚πŸ₯‚πŸ₯‚
well done! Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to get 500? I am asking because I just had a thread about this last night. I realised I did not have some reference point to help me understand nostr's reach. Do you post every day? Ty ☺️

 3 weeks or so.
I try to post in my breaks usually a bit everyday.  Im semi retired so I have a fair bit of free time now that my boys are grown.

The Most traction you will get will be when you are first to reply in a BIG users thread that looks interesting.  Those threads get a ton of views and if you are adding value, people will follow you.

Focus on the big users ypu really like.  Interact with everyone in those threads and make friends!

 interesting findings. Ty. nostr:nprofile1qqs06gywary09qmcp2249ztwfq3ue8wxhl2yyp3c39thzp55plvj0sgprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qguwaehxw309a6xsetrd96xzer9dshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qgkwaehxw309ahx7um5wfjkc6t5v4ejummjvuhsh7980k and I  were talking about this. Some folks had theirs 500 in a year. It is good that you have this insight too. πŸ‘

 Also a lot of users on Nostr disengage and don’t interact.  In fact retention is close to 1%.
Focus your energy on the active users.  Some of the big accounts have 120k followers but if they post, only get a few thousand views since most are dormant.

 this explains my confusion. I have been wondering this for the past 3 months. I was thinking how did people get 120k but the engagement is very low for their followers. This explains a lot now. U rock! 🫰🫰🫰

 Hi, congrats on the 500. How do you know how many views a note / post got?

 I see the retention as well. What about a view or impressions for a particular note you mention? Or is this something out of your head?

 Damn, 3 weeks. πŸ˜…  That is insanely fast, geez. I post multiple times per day, since January, and am barely over 500.

Are you user that those aren't mostly bots?

 No bots. I just try to find something in common with people and make a thoughtful reply.
