Discussion
Pura vida, Vincent. How's your time been on Nostr? You're still new, so I have to ask: What do you like and what don't you like? π€π»ππ«
What I like is that it's very open to different topics. I'm interested in Bitcoin, but I don't want to receive updates every minute on just that topic. For the moment, I find that my feed is gradually balancing Bitcoin with other topics that interest me.
What I like less is that, aside from interactions, I have no idea how many people see what I post. Sometimes I wonder if my content is actually viewed by followers or if they just followed me so I'd follow them back. I'd like to have access to more statistics.
Also, I often read that likes are useless and that Zaps are needed. I appreciate Zaps, but so are likes. Perhaps "Likes π§‘" could have been replaced with "Views π" on Nostr if we really wanted to distinguish quality content rewarded with Zaps from more common content that we still want to discover every day.
I'm new from traditional social media, so without Zaps, and all the reactions were pleasing. Here, I sometimes have trouble telling the difference between someone who appreciates what I post and someone who just wants to get my attention.
Same as a viewer: I see a lot of content (memes, photos, quotes, etc.) without explanation or personalization. I wonder if these are real people posting original content or just bots who repeatedly post (or repost) content taken from here and there on other platforms.
In short, what I'd like is to be able to assess whether my content truly belongs on Nostr or whether I'm posting in the void.
For other users, I'll gradually refine my list to focus on original content and free up space to discover new users.
I see your content all the time. Beautiful scenery π»
You can get a better sense of how many people see your content with media analytics through something like nostr.build. They count how many times their server was queried.
Itβs hard to get view counts probably due to how relay connections work - youβd never see the stats from relays youβre not connected to. Services that aggregate relays like the primal caching server would be the closest thing to a central point of truth for stats probably.
Thank you, I see your interactions and it makes me happy π
"In short, what I'd like is to be able to assess whether my content truly belongs on Nostr or whether I'm posting in the void."
100% agree with this. Also, as somebody who isn't as interested in Bitcoin topics, I've found it difficult to find content I'm interested in so far (sports, research/papers related to ML, etc.). Part of me thinks this content just isn't on Nostr yet
Yet is the keyword. Start posting about the things you want to see more of. Think of nostr as a diy project, not a pay someone (with your data) to do it for you (and I don't mean that in a harsh way at all- just the best anology I can think of)
I get what you mean, but I'd also love to consume that content as well. I do think sometimes being the first producer can incentivize others, so we'll see
Yes sometimes people need to just be given permission by seeing others go first (see vlogs)
As far as sports go, there are a few npubs that I've seen post clips, post game threads, etc
Many nostr peeps see sports as bread & circus meant to distract us from what's really going on (and they're right to a degree), but variety is the spice of life. Different strokes for different folks, and all the other cliches
nostr:npub1yex5q2000jqxjxdagrm4rjq4secs8x6zy6sfzcyp6l9ptz449reqjw4l3e your content definitely belongs here - and so do you. Time spent here will make it abundantly clear who is posting original content and having genuine interactions. Similarly, the more you post and interact, the more you will be recognized by the rest of the squad. Keep it up!
