Oddbean new post about login | logout #Nostr Pro tip: Don't use emojis as reactions. Your friends on Primal won't see them. https://media.tenor.com/S1xOjTOnwLgAAAAM/masters-of-the-universe-skeletor-mot-u.gif
Pro tip: Show your friends how to use multiple Nostr clients 🫡
Pro tip 2 😂😂
What #Amethyst does instead. 💪 nostr:nevent1qqsdtknca44pqsee02recp7llthtd60z3v258gtujlvfsuj8n6vvkfspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qnxa4tywfz9nqp7z9zp7nr7d4nchhclsf58lcqt5y782rmf2hefjqxpqqqqqqz62zh7x
"1 like. Nobody is reacting to my notes. Nostr is a dead place" 🌝 https://i.nostr.build/HtYXnrS6vJACQLiA.jpg
👀
See the issue? Even if they showed emojis as normal likes it would help. I have 20 reactions on Amethyst and still 1 on Primal. As a user it's frustrating to think nobody is interacting with you while people actually do.
I thought they counted them anyway. I've never seen that difference. Primal needs to fix this.
Currently, Amethyst is among one of the only clients that handle these emoji reactions. With that being said, surely it shouldn't be up to all the other clients to adjust based on what a single client is doing.
Actually, Nostrudel.ninja and Nostter.app also support emoji reactions
Just count them as likes.
Damus has 🤙. It's an emoji reaction. Primal does count 🤙 next to the +. You actively don't count reactions, you filter reactions. Why blame other clients? Even if you don't care about the emoji and don't want to add it, still a kind 7 event exists and you guys filter it out instead of just counting it. And please understand I'm not trying to blame and critic here, I just want to make you aware that your users might be happier to actually see reactions they get on their notes. Even if you count all kind 7 reactions just as a heart(+), people know someone interacted with them. Am I wrong about this?
Meanwhile on #Amethyst https://i.nostr.build/KuZ7ulymXitowGiE.jpg
And both amounts of reactions are equally worth zero value.
Yes but still as a new person it makes a difference to be seen or not to be seen.
Why look for ways to encourage people to get more likes though? They’re worthless. It would be better to encourage new users to post and engage in ways that actually earn real value from others.
While I do agree with that, people are used to likes, coming from other platforms. When I get 25 reactions but see only 1, I easily get the impression this place is not worth my time as nobody interacts with me, notices my content etc, and go back to Bluesky/Xitter/Zuckerberg.
Right, but the people that care about likes on Xitter/IG/Tiktok care about them because they can become eligible for monetizing on those platforms. Likes have nothing to do with monetization here. They’re pointless bullshit metrics here, and it’s meaningless to encourage their use here.
Really? I don't know. When I do a shitpost and it gets 20 likes I at least know it was recognized. Doesn't have to do anything with monetization.
Depends on the person I guess. You’re living under a rock though if you think most people who are serious about using social media these days aren’t thinking about monetization in some form.
I some what agree and somewhat disagree. But I agree more with your content, less with your lack off acceptance for how bad the sheeple are. But do we really want them here anyway?
Pro tip: don't use primal 😜
Good to know! I was not aware of this gap with nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0ds2g5zx8 🫣 What about nostr:nprofile1qqsraldwhvwcjgltmxwfu7kw8dqef2692yhzheuurd7k3kfy8cxjdqgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3samnwvaz7tmhv4kxxmmdv5hxummnw3ezuamfdejsz9thwden5te0v4jx2m3wdehhxarj9ekxzmnype9f6h will nostriches see any emoji reaction on notes there?
Yes. Damus also supports this.
Emoji reactions is one of the reasons I prefer other clients
Would also like to see emoji reaction support on @YakiHonne
You can see the emoji reactions when long press the reaction icon, however doing them is yet to come lol
This is what I see https://image.nostr.build/adedf3c19f49c3cbe127d33e1d995b7f308ba63b25a2f00eb43111c3563c0734.jpg
Ah never mind, I gotcha
That's their problem by using Primal 🤷🏼♂️
