Nostr Web Client

Have you managed to bring your Instagram, Facebook, X, etc. followers to Primal ?

And if so, how did you encourage or convince them to follow you there ?

I no longer have access to Facebook, blocked for no real reason, which prompted me to look for a different way to communicate and share.

On Instagram, I posted stories with links to #Nostr, #Primal, and my profile, but I received very little response.

In short, if you've managed to migrate your community, I'd love to hear your strategy and tips. Thank you.

I've tried, but with very little success. The reasons being (I think):

1) I don't really have a "community" or an audience as such to begin with

2) Most haven't been banned/censored so they don't see the value in the uncensorable aspect of the protocol

3) Most don't understand or have interest in Bitcoin so they also don't see value in zaps

4) The network effect is strong (in favor of X/IG/FB, etc.)

5) Centralized social media still has a much better UX than any of the nostr clients

6) The "no algorithms" part of nostr clients means that discoverability is bad, as is discovering (you're not constantly being catered content according to your interests - you have to find and curate your own feed)

It's sad, but it's true that all the points seem valid.

I'm going to try a little longer, taking advantage of the Meta bans and the evolution of YouTube's regulations.

Sooner or later, these millions of users will have to discover Nostr and the client that best suits them.

I had to do it under some duress, but in the end, I'm satisfied.

So, since I'm nothing special, it should be suitable for anyone, as long as they give it a try.
