I've just started on nostr ...never 'done' social media...any tips on getting going...feels like shouting into the void at the moment... I probably need to interact more but baby steps. Thought I'd respond to this as it resonates👊
Often feels like that, people will say you should “engage more” but don’t fall into that trap. Embrace the void and eventually a client will come which surfaces posts from those you follow, regardless of engagement or recency bias
Thanks for that. We have actually met irl pub, talked a samurai and 3d printing🙏
It’s important to follow people and they’ll follow you. You need to understand that the relays you choose need to be relays that other people are on if you want to see their content and you want them to see yours. If you find someone’s content interesting check out what relays they use and try it out. You’ll refine it over time. Set up a lightning wallet and setup zaps, a way to send a few sats via a person’s note or profile if you like it. Value 4 value. It’s alot of fun.
Thanks man. I will try that out. Just changed phone and so will now set up my wallet 👍. Will try to susd out relays more.
@Gigi & @Derek Ross are 2 great follows for people who have lots of Nostr knowledge base info
Love Gigi, followed him quietly for years, I'm in his patreon. Also following Derek, but he's new to me 👍
Ask either of them for the Nostr info link. Can’t remember it. Gives loads of info on what it’s all about

Thank you. So far I've just been bumbling about. Need to absorb this stuff🙏
Hey. Congrats on staying off social media so long. I stayed away for years after it turned into a marketing machine. You definitely picked the right place. I feel the same as you sometimes, “shouting into the void”, but the whole experience improves organically.
Easier as I virtually never posted....massive lurker tho.
Nostr is full right now. Try back in about a month. https://image.nostr.build/6f06fed1f63aa0cdea86a31bc829070f601fb530c683695386eaad68e2245e48.jpg
