The fact that it is unlike other social media is definitely one of the things I enjoy about Nostr and partly what has kept me here. The interactions on here feel a lot more authentic than on other social media, almost like a group of friends just hanging out having a chat.
I think keeping people here is a challenge at the moment. I feel like engagement has dropped off from what it has been in the past. While I’m not personally here seeking engagement, someone new to Nostr probably won’t stay around long if they don’t get some sort of engagement and feel like their notes are being seen.
