 If the UI/UX were good, the community wouldn’t need to hand-hold every new user. 

This includes user, topic, and feature discovery. 
 Sure, we have a lot of work to do there with onboarding, but having a community offering help is also a great way to gain back the humanization of social media that's been lost over the years. 
 The human side of #Nostr is the best part. I remember when I joined I had tons of questions and people were always willing to help. Nostriches are keen to see #Nostr succeed 
 In fact, the community is what makes #Nostr different from Farcaster. I tried Warpcast for a bit, but it never felt as friendly as Nostr and was mostly crypto stuff and air drops and minting NFTs 
 Farcaster sounds horrible. I'm imagining each user trying to scam the next. 
 The problem lies in there's more bitcoin community than there is any other community on nostr. Thus it's hard for people to come here and find a relatable community that's not talking about bitcoin too, and that can be pretty repetitive and off putting, especially when just getting started and not understanding on the same level as others around you, when you just wanted some new cooking recipes, etc.


 
 Agree. There's very little here for just one community type. It's mostly Bitcoin with overlap into several others. i.e. loves me some food pics, but I'm also a Bitcoin. 
 Precisely.
