Why is nostr so quiet?
Discussion
Pura Vida! 💜
Ser. How dare you use the “q” word. Heresy where I come from.
You are following only 7 people. You can use snort to follow someone else's following.
It's often best to see following feed. Global is noisy.
Lol.. wait your relays to load
Almost 1000 follows and I think 2000+ followers.. but Don't wamt to wait it to load 😅
Follow more people.
Half of my #Nostr feed is taking sunset pictures and dancing at #Nostrica
Conference, timezones, lack of a new wave of users
Nostr helping people use social platforms for more good then dopamine hits.
Social media time usage dropping when not on blue bird for most.
People are worried they will post on Hell Thread by mistake!
nostrica going on
it has been a bit more chilled in the last few days...
I thought it will be a combination of Nostrica event together with the massive events in the physical reality shit show which is demanding ppl attention...
🤷♂️
We are here 🤙🫂💜⚡
It's Sunday evening and people are pretty burned out. Depends on who you follow also. Any progress on recovering your Bitcoin?
Always progress.
Knock knock 🤙
We're stealth.
Luke feels playful, say hi

They’re all at the conference in Costa Rica at the bar
yooo Luke it is wonderful to see you here
We're busy reviewing BIPS and NIPS
Cause everyone is at the bar on a beach at Nostrica?
I don’t know. I wish people would post here rather than Twitter.
Luke, have you read the book “The Blocksize War” and if yes, do you care to comment on the accuracy as it relates to your experience through that time?
Make sure you have your volume turned up ✅
You're not following anyone
I don't follow anyone on Twitter either, but there's always more stuff on my home screen...
That’s the algorithm, here it’s who you follow and in chronological order of posts, unless you have a global feed in your client
Can I configure Iris to show me random plebs loosely connected to people I follow? Including stuff they simply "like"?
Closest I’ve personally seen is selectable relays for global feed and selecting only bitcoin paid relays which are more likely to have plebs on them, I don’t use iris though so not sure if it has a friendosphere option for feed.
I guess you really have to follow folks this time, it’s not that bad, you can always unfollow.
I’m following you btw
You can also log in as someone else’s npub who follows a lot of people if you just want a general idea of what their feed is like
Nostrgram has following+
Those you follow and those they follow. Wonder if #[7] has considered it
You can adjust the Global feed :https://github.com/irislib/faq#feed
You can also search by keywords or hashtags:
Early days
Hello Luke, thank you for your contributions to Bitcoin. Have a great weekend!
demographics. the bitcoin crowd is highly technical and so focused on development. To many of the uninitiated, most are speaking an archaic language.
Platform growth is aligned with incentives. Why do females from Asia ages 15 to 18 join Tik-Tok? - there is a social component in the physical that is unseen in the virtual world. One of those moments is when the classmate of a 5th grader, shows her phone to her classmate IRL, and sees their friend dancing. They like it, then kids from other schools like it, then it goes around. This intermingling of demographic factors plus the tangible reality is a phenomenon not easily observed by developers.
Nostr is its own niche - So today, as it is finding its niche and identity, such questions come to the fore.
Who will use it and why?
Who will developers make features for and why?
What will be the kind of content to expect and where does these content come from?
If this was a monolithic entity with a centralized decision-making apparatus, the CEO gets to point to which direction it will go. As it is now, it is community driven.
We still go to twitter - because that's where the journalists go post their news. They need it to sustain media revenue.
We still go to twitter - because for some reason, people post earthquake alerts there.
People are drawn to something because of what and more importantly - who is in it.
Because you follow 7 people
Zapped! #zapathon
