be your own algorithm. engage with people that comment on your notes. engage with people that post notes in your feed. use the global tab. use the conversation tab. find nostriches that are active and let them know that you're active too! boost your own notes when applicable. help nostriches find your content. rinse and repeat. proof of work goes a long way in a community that appreciates value.

I am realising that the term "proof of work" is applicable to a lot of things in life. for example, governments don't prduce any value! proof of stake!!
agree. proof of work is beyond bitcoin and can be applied to most things in life.

"I'm the algorithm"

Very true! On Twitter, Iβve made most friends by commenting and liking
interacting is key on every social platform, it's just even more important and apparent here, where we don't have algos to bring content forward.
Well said.
we gotta keep saying it so that new nostriches don't get lost in the void.
I've not been on here long and can honestly say that my experience has been improved massively by people's willingness to help and engage with me, including you. So thanks π€
Thanks Dad
See you even have better dad memes than me lol
we need a dad nest where we discuss dad jokes and general dadding.
perfect...
get all of em in a room, lock the door, watch this:

Like when they go:
"I'm not thirsty, I'M THIRSTY I WANT WATER"
I'm all for this.
This! Engage to be engaged!

Is there a way to separate followed tags from followed accounts? I would like to follow a bunch of tags to make my own feed but also don't want to drown out the people I specifically want to follow from my home feed,
This is client dependent. Some allow following or hashtags and allow them to be in a separate feed.
Interesting note. You outlined the Nostr, protocol, and incentive structure in the clearest way I've seen to date. π€¨
glad to be of service.
don't be an algorithm, be social.
welcome to social media

its social media. not algorithm media. be social
Do people boost their own notes? Does that help visibility?
Yes. You need to absolutely do this if you have a banger of a note that you feel needs more eyeballs. Algos aren't going to do the heavy lifting for you. Work hard.
Huh, the more you know! Looks like I donβt have a button to do this on Damus
Hmm. I don't have an iPhone so I can't confirm this. I always assumed you could. I'm sure a Damus user will comment here.
Until today I canβt use Damus. Happily there is others nostr clients
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s can you boost your own notes on Damus?
Yup! You can repost your own notes on damus if thatβs what you mean?
Yes, that's what I mean. Thanks V! π«π There you go nostr:npub1h54pqnsxws6xlv8rjce4qsg0pqkp4qw7wcqtd4ga90dwlnp05u5s5ldn04 π₯
This is fantastic advice, thanks for engendering growth π
Welcome! Here's some basic advice. TLDR, just be social.
While this is a positive development, it's important to note the potential drawbacks. Not all users appreciate unsolicited comments on their posts. I, for one, generally refrain from commenting, as I am doing now. Furthermore, there's a tendency for individuals to welcome affirming comments while being less receptive to dissenting opinions. Personally, I prefer to quote sources. Quoting allows for a more objective discussion of the content without directly addressing the author. However, some may perceive this as a way to avoid genuine engagement.
Iβve noticed that more successful people on nostr reply an order of magnitude more than post. I mostly post because Iβm kinda just slopping notes and donβt spend too much time on social media but it makes sense to me - nostr is an interactivity/old school approach rather than an influencer/algorithm approach
