Nostr Web Client

nostr:npub1rpxu5f7p3lk8m83cu9249fk4ctxjyaq60l34dlgncj7en334jnhqmz667g meme bot account was inactive since 2023.

Today:

• 20.6K followers on Primal

• Only 2.7K reputable (via npub.world, powered by nostr:npub1kpt95rv4q3mcz8e4lamwtxq7men6jprf49l7asfac9lnv2gda0lqdknhmz / nostr:npub176p7sup477k5738qhxx0hk2n0cty2k5je5uvalzvkvwmw4tltmeqw7vgup)

• Followed by nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg and two Primal devs nostr:npub1spdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpslcq6j7 and nostr:npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc

nostr:npub19cql0qvn3n8t0mx40hnstlurvkatke7r8wjpfg6zvt2vdd3ttkfq66hgvc is similar:

• 19.8K followers / 2.3K reputable

• Also inactive

• Also followed by the same Primal and dev accounts

🔍 Visual comparison here:

Totally fair - Primal is a client, they’re free to promote what they want.

But here’s the real question:

What value do new users get from being funneled to completely inactive accounts?

Wouldn’t surfacing active, real meme creators and curators lead to a better experience and stronger network culture?

Curious if this was part of a legacy onboarding flow, and if it’s still active.

nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr - any insight?

The Meme Bay 🏴‍☠️ 9mo ago

Others noticed it too 👀

I never asked this bot to be followed. I was not getting any value to maintain this bot and with my busy personal life. Lost the motivation.

I am not sure why this bot was picked up. But for me if there is a demand, I can put the effort to re-run this meme bot.

The Meme Bay 🏴‍☠️ 9mo ago

Totally get that. I’ve asked myself the same thing more than once.

For the first 8 months of The Meme Bay, I was posting 4 memes a day manually spaced out every ~4 hours.

Most were handpicked from legacy platforms, just to bring that familiar humor and help make NOSTR feel more alive.

We used Shipyard for a while (I suggested some early features), but eventually outgrew it and started building tools in-house to run things more smoothly.

I’ve been running giveaways manually for over 2 years, given away more than a million sats, and already put over $6K into the new tooling - with at least $10K committed to get it to a place where it’s stable enough to share publicly.

It hasn’t always felt worth it. But I stuck with it because I care about building something real here.

That’s why I posted what I did - not to criticize, just to highlight something that feels off and could probably be improved for future users.

And if you decide to bring the bot back in a way that adds real value, I’m all for that.

We all win if NOSTR wins.

Already working on it. Need to change lot of stuff as things are old now.

We tested zaps on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at serioushumour@iris.to, over a period of about 1 hour. In each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. You might want to look into using a cloud-based Lightning node which is optimized for Nostr zaps, to get your zaps working.
