 1. Trying to post daily or multiple times a day.  Approximately 0 engagement on most posts.  
2. I like and zap many other posts.

Is there a trick that’s different than “be less boring”?

Maybe the ceo of NOSTR is shadow banning me.  Good news: not here as a nym to get popular.  Just supporting freedom tech. Keep putting out the content!

 Nostr doesn’t use algos or anything to encourage engagement.  
I started posting a month ago and I spend 99% of my time replying to other people’s posts to encourage them to follow me.  
-Without followers, you’re literally using nostr like a journal.  
-Make friends with some bigger accts. 
-Ask and encourage people to repost your notes.
-Zap replies to encouraging people to engage your notes.
-Focus on active users. 99% of the users here disappear for the same reasons you outlined.  
Its a different place here but the quality of the users here is top notch.

Use tools to connect with other new users. Etc etc etc
Be creative.

 nostr will use algorithms, so learn how they work, and take advantage! my prototype algorithm is available at https://nostr.thecaptain.dev
