Hmm, it's more that the there are these mechanisms that fill the void of discovery. The mechanisms assume you have come from and want bitcointwitter. Clients recommend bitcointwitter people, people who post in that style, primal trending sidebar does the same. Follows are funnelled into these posters and posts with lots of likes appear as 'trending'. 
Replying or appealing to the tastes of these people is sometimes the only possibility of interaction smaller accounts have. The rent you pay to post can be seen as posting popular bitcointwitter slogans. Emulating bitcointwitter is rewarded in engagement and zaps.

This is arguably worse than an algorithm lol. In terms of an obstacle to nostr's growth. (The most common complaint about nostr is that it's a bitcointwitter slogan chatroom).

The most used clients are microblogging types, following accounts instead of topics. There are barely any topics to follow (besides bitcointwitter talking points, although Meshtastic and Permaculture are promising).

Etc etc

 

 It's a major problem, not really been solved. Retention is low and the only reliable place to recruit from is bitcointwitter. No one outside of bitcointwitter wants bitcointwitter as a social media (even some of bitcointwitter want more variety, which they find on wider twitter, not here).

 Yeah, they come here, post their Bitcoin meme stuff and then they go back to Twitter to have real conversations. 

 These two are right. We need to figure out ways to fix this. #nostr #bitcoin

 *sigh* 

 I disagree. No need to fix anything but the basics yet. I really don't like this push to on board people to a broken system. It's dumb.  

 Yeah, too early for most people. Onboarding too early is burning potential users and then they leave and complain about Nostr to their friends. 

 That's a good point. 

 i wont frens   >=[ 

 Same. When I left Twitter, it was for real. I left there for a reason and that reason hasn't changed. 

 yeah, it's a little disheartening at times to try and engage with non-bitcoin or non-nostr stuff. 

 it's my first time to hear meshtatic and permaculture, is that another nostr clients?  

 No Meshtastic is a type of radio technology thing, permaculture is like gardening and homesteading type thing, content/ smaller communities here.

#meshtastic
#permaculture 

 I do the like the cooking community. I've actually been using a fair amount of the recipes that I've found from nostr:nprofile1qqsrrxknu7gxxnd7smc5mwwzn9djdm3uvg5tu40cn3x8l656esqa2zspzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0guyv64. Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsfhsknfhw6s0v59g0a6d48fple4tk8grdjf6newvkepcur6xwjjjqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejq6pne6f! I haven't focused as much as I'd like to on the gardening community. Thanks for the reminder!

It's one of a very very few attempts at topic-follow rather than personality/npub follow. There was another WIP client which was heavily focused on forum-style, but forgotten the name.

Things like this could help attract and keep people. 

Bitcoin posts and the general bitcointwitter chatroom posts wouldn't show up in unrelated topic forums, hopefully lol ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ 

 Thanks. I followed him/her.
