so like 69% of people here 🤣
There is as much unlearning to be done as there is learning.
💯
I'm going to keep sharing my "how do" nostr note until they get it. nostr:nevent1qqsysn2l7nz6nm3cya42q5zrqas8gk0f8pwdptggw4kv3v0hn7sy07gpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qlrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5sxpqqqqqqzj370qe
It amazes me how few people comment on anything but you know they’re doom scrolling for new content
Doom scrolling is addicting, but here it's more like happy scrolling.
Happy hopeful scrolling 😁
Hope-scrolling in my status, 24/7 🫂
I feel like most nostr users are just lurkers
Na, my takes just suck
Same boat here. 😭
There's only 3 real people and10,000 AI bots on here anyway.
You got some...😅😆😂
😂
Every time 😂
But ser - they post here first! 5 seconds before Xitter™️ *in some cases **allegedly
Imagine how many likes they sacrifice in the process. So brave.
Why are you so ruthless.
😂😂
I liked this. but I'm also commenting just so you know how much I love it. I feel seen.

who should I follow
My approach was to follow literally everyone I came across at first. Once I hit where I was following like 1000 people I started unfollowing some who had either become inactive or weren't posting the kind of stuff I was interested in seeing all the time. Then I've done that same thing a few times—follow more people, go back and unfollow inactive or uninteresting accounts later on.
The goal is to be as weird as possible It’s hard to find the balance but we’re working on it

100% true. It's a socal platform jfc you gotta interact. Find people you like, then look at who they follow. Build your audience! It's not fucking hard. nostr:nevent1qqsysn2l7nz6nm3cya42q5zrqas8gk0f8pwdptggw4kv3v0hn7sy07gppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5pzp78xcep59u0q2fyqvv8z0cgpdh8rtlp6v98xqs60aa92y5pn9r9fqvzqqqqqqygxcdnc
Accurate, I also hear “I hate hashtags”, but then they use Twitter as their main legacy media type
🤣🤣
Unfortunately for me, though I do zap and like posts a lot, I find limited joy in the strategy of initiating lots of superficial interactions vs. fewer but more meaningful interactions (which for me occur by actually talking to real people). Probably because I don't have lots of time, and partly because of my age/generation, and also because I don't inherently possess the skills of shmoozing and shitposting online. I wish I did have those skills LOL. Also, I'm a slow writer - this post took me like 8-10 minutes to write and edit, etc. That's too long if I need to be spraying comments everywhere on here. But in the end I understand that because of my lack of ability and time I'll only have very little engagement on here. And that's OK by me 😁 in the end this took me 12 min. LOL
Stop calling me out!
worst part is: we keep telling them over and over and they keep thinking engagement will magically happen 🙄
Imagine having to put in work to form a relationship……
Put in work? Impossible ! https://media.tenor.com/jDJkh3w0wTAAAAAC/gregzaj1-ln_strike.gif
What is this relationship you speak of? I’m just here to pontificate on my moral superiority and receive validation for my banal repetition of catch phrases!
You’re doing one hell of a job! 😂
🤣😂 I hope not. I’ve always wanted to lose at social media.
I’ve always preferred to be in places where losing is winning
You’re in the right place. We’re all losers winning here.
"Don't make me actually talk to people as if they're human beings. I need followers." 😂
I follow 55 people and no cross posting :(
This one is nice
💜🫡
Literally me, if he just sat silently because he knows exactly why he’s not getting traction 😂
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
there are also a following cult on nostr, because of standard recommendation on who to follow and because of trending feed of big accounts.
💯 I wish that data vending machines for discovery of content/people were more prevalent and integrated in clients. Search, onboarding, etc., would be improved so much.
The danger is that nostr could recapitulate too many aspects of legacy social media, in exactly the way you mention. Actively rewarding people bc they are influencers = punishing those who are not influencers. Lots of people don’t want us to recreate that world.
I feel attacked. @ODELL
Even more Incentivising 👌🏾
If you are on nostr, why go back to "X" ? There more people ? there more algo ? you have more followers ? or maybe all of those, plus are you after fame and number ad ? https://youtu.be/MfifauG93ZU (background and clothing pay attention)
I alternate between both. There are still much more content I like to read on Twitter than nostr (unfortunately). Nostr is grassroots and genuine, but feels like an echo chamber after a while. Twitter is mostly fake and full of BS (scam ads, impersonators), but if you doesn’t use the “for you” feed, you can still read mostly interesting stuff that you don’t find on nostr.
Sometimes replies do not get traction. I would check up daily on my friends, however the day I stopped, conversation ended. Same cycle each season. That is why I love lonely places. People think I am a lesbian, while there are no handsome or durable characters in University
Tô felizão aqui nostr:nevent1qqsysn2l7nz6nm3cya42q5zrqas8gk0f8pwdptggw4kv3v0hn7sy07gpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzp78xcep59u0q2fyqvv8z0cgpdh8rtlp6v98xqs60aa92y5pn9r9fqvzqqqqqqyfdlspt
frankly X has worst traction .. Reddit is the best .. Nostr is a community of bitcoiners and bots :-) You get traction only if you do something real with btc or lightning.. or make bunch of tools to improve nostr .. and there is nothing wrong with it ..
This is a struggle for those who are new to the nostr ecosystem. Stickiness of mainstream media is a thing that prevents cross over but at the same time, a lot of people just consume and don't engage. I <3 nostr for the detailed conversations that aren't elsewhere. But there is also the fact that some of us are not continuously consuming social media all the time.... I usually shut social media off to enhance productivity, not sure how bad this ends up for engagement but I'm never here to farm engagement, only here for the memes 😉
That's one of the things I love most about Nostr, is that you're not punished by an algorithm for not being active. On other platforms, if you're not consistently active then the algorithm actually will punish you and make you work even harder to get engagement when you come back online.
I take offense to this nostr:nevent1qqsysn2l7nz6nm3cya42q5zrqas8gk0f8pwdptggw4kv3v0hn7sy07gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzp78xcep59u0q2fyqvv8z0cgpdh8rtlp6v98xqs60aa92y5pn9r9fqvzqqqqqqy5f6xw4
At least you reposted the right one though 🤣🤣🤙
