Okay, it's been a few days. I've gained a couple hundred followers, many of them new, almost all human.
I notice little difference in the amount of replies between the nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl account with 5000 followers and this one, now.
There's only about 200 people, out of the 5000, that ever replied, and they tend to be quite active and have already noticed the switch, so I'm basically done recruiting.
I liked the other account didn’t realize I had to follow this one too.
Sometimes the real time feed means people don’t see critical notes that require action
Yeah, I try reposting, but lots of clients and the big relays block that.
The people designing that stuff all have a gazillion followers, and their stuff is interacted with constantly, for days, so they have no idea how Nostr actually works for a normal npub.
The relays throttling and these WOT relays is literally the worst thing to happen to nostr discoverability all year
