A twitter clone 

 Came here to say the same thing

 Right wing extremism, nazis, murderings, racism, and most importantly, Bit-Coins 

 i’ve seen a lot of bitcoin stuff, but fortunately haven’t run into much of the other 

 Same. That’s just what i imagine people would expect 😂 

 Following this @elsat @Jeroen ✅ 

 do you folks at Damus tweak onboarding much or just set it and assume it’s “about good enough” for now?

i’m trying to learn if there are onboarding best practices that more clients could share to help nostr succeed faster 

 We are actively working on changes to the process. The team has been doing a lot of research into popular traditional apps that are similar, talking to users, brainstorming internally etc. so it’s exciting times in this regard. Will be testing some things in the coming weeks. I’ve also proposed a talk about this at @thenostrworld 

 i like the way @hodlbod has people choose topics of interest before getting to suggestions of people. feels like a good way to set strong context about why i am following certain people. though then not seeing them in a feed without specifically navigating there makes me think the purpose may be a bit different than i was expecting.

i’m interested to see if/how this could improve FTUX and onboarding and ultimately retention in a feed based system

let me know if i can help brainstorm more onboarding experiments 

 Thanks David! Topics are great. We’ve got some hybrid versions of that with follower or hashtag suggestions being discussed. We are going to open it up to the network soon 💜

 They will find the friends that recommended that they sign up for nostr

 That would depend on where the new person is dropping in from, no? Like primal positioning itself as a social btc wallet, one would expect btc content immediately. How does each want to present itself to its potential users?  

 Something addicting like all other social media apps  

 do you think they find that? 

 I feel it depends on what they’ve read/researched before doing so, and that will influence their initial bias. I signed up purely due to decentralisation, lack of algorithms, and the potential for using my nostr keys to “sign up” for the “other stuff”. Plus it was new and I like messing with new stuff). Watching it evolve is also part of the journey/experience. Sadly, I think many expect to find a fully fledged twitter clone with all the news and content that has after 15 years or so of existence and then to do no work curating their feeds/follows and instead are initially disappointed to find a large bitcoin-focused / nostr dev community (which I personally  love along with the memes and zaps). 

 yeah, i’m here for the ideology of what it can be and to be part of a frontier that’s just getting explored 

 Funnily enough I was on twitter early too with the same 4-letter handle I have now only for it to be wrangled out of my hands during Twitter’s clampdown on short usernames - I have no idea why that happened. Changed my password only to be told that I can’t use @jamw again. Still wonder why that was to this day. Anyway, like you, here for the exploration of the ideological frontier that is nostr 🙂
