I try to spend at least 15-30 minutes a night commenting/quoting new nostriches hoping to get them at least 1 follower (me). #introductions
Follower count does not matter here. Good ideas float to the top.
I like your approach. Your comment on their note could mean the difference between them leaving Nostr for good or staying and giving Nostr a chance because someone cared enough to reach out 👏🏻
