I don't think you need the things you listed to entice people. (Reddit/subreddits have none of those things really).

This is the complaint you hear about nostr over and over. Why? Could it be that the onboarding set up pushes people towards bitcoin content and personalities? Partly, maybe. Nostr is predominantly bitcointwitter people, I think that is fair to say (?). There's a lot of bitcointwitter slogans, in-jokes and memes and etc, I think that is also fair to say(?). I think this is just the situation and it's not really surprising. But it is also putting people off. I don't think this is really that outlandish 🤔

Yes there are other topics, but perhaps not enough or enough conversations around them to keep people interested.

Maybe you think there is nothing to the complaints? I'm not sure.
