People are making hashtags like #grownostr to get more ppl interested tbf. The content is there if you don’t mind digging through stupid zap posts.

It does take effort. I agree for the 99% it needs to take less effort.
I’m still optimistic. But I see and agree with your point in general. But it’s better than it was three months ago, so still optimistic.
Finding people is difficult.
Finding threads is difficult.
Finding follows is difficult
Finding # tags is difficult.
But, that’s because we’re early. Overall we’ll grow, and expand, and mature.
Careful, that bot hasnt figured out a lightning wallet yet. I found a ton of people building my community here. If you are here we share some common bond, could care less if using only nostr. These are my people. Are they yours?
Lol I haven’t figured out lighting wallet either. It’s not my thing. I’m the physical assets guy. Bitcoin is cool, and all. You guys like it a lot more than I do is all.
The common bond is an interest in the progress of Nostr. Beyond that I don’t believe Damus to be my community. It’s a good community for what it is though.
Grow Nostr is dumb hashtag. It’s too generic…
There’s also #foodstr #carstr (p.s. I hate the “str” thing, just use hashtags normally).
The mute user function is quite nice. Doesn’t work very well on Iris so I switch between Damus and Iris depending on whether I want to zap or not.
The mute feature on Damus is very nice though for removing low effort nonsense like single word “#Bitcoin” posts, shitty AI memes or “artwork”, or zap requests/begging.
Takes a few days but it really cleans up the feed nicely.
