 I'm just a user, not a dev, so it's easy for me to say this and feel free to ignore my uninformed position, but... Let it struggle. Good stuff takes time and grows more resilient through the struggle. Seems like Nostr has had great legs already. I don't think we should seek mass adoption because privacy and censorship are not valued in society overall right now - it would be futile - and tricking normies into using it will help in the long run. It won't have mass adoption until those values return, and they won't for a long time or until a critical mass changed their minds. Until Nostr I hadn't used any type of social media for over a decade, and I just felt that Nostr was worthy of my efforts to participate. We have to keep going as the minority.. the 20% to make 80% of the change

 I like it. I’m not sure what people are expecting. We have a great community for bitcoiners. I get news and memes. I can usually read through the posts by the end of the day. 

Would it be better if there were 10x the posts in my feed? Not sure what people believe that success looks like. 
 I’m not talk about mass adoption. I’m talking about early network effects and what spot nostr occupies in people’s minds.

The former is lacklustre, the latter is vague
