Don’t find a community, create one. You mention your interests enough and people will show up. In the meantime expect to see the communities that have already been built.

Time… is the factor to note here. New users don’t have time to cultivate such a process. Their attention span is gone by then, & so are they.

But someone has to do it right?

… and a new user will not. Period.

Generally in communities people converse. Not just listen. If you want to just listen, nostr is not big enough for you yet. The social media aspect of nostr is months old. Instagram is a decade. Twitter almost 20 years…

I joined Nostr in December and there were barely an memers on here, or at least I didn’t know how to find them. I love memes so I just started making and sharing memes, and pretty quickly I started finding other memers who saw my posts in the global feed, or I saw theirs, and followed each other, and those have now become some of the people I interact with most and have even connected off Nostr with a few of them. You just have to start. Well, you don’t have to, but that’s the only way it works right now. If you don’t have the time then nobody can fix that for you.

Same… you have to be willing to start a conversation. Whether it be through memes or whatever. Can’t sit on the sidelines. Get in the game.

“Well, you don’t have to, but that’s the only way it works right now. If you don’t have the time then nobody can fix that for you.”

This further validates my point. New users expect those ideas/connections/groups/discussions to already exist. And when they realize they don’t.. they don’t have the time to do it. Unless someone spends hours of their day on nostr, which.. lets hope they are healthy & don’t, they are alienated & leave to spaces that do already have it. ie. other platforms

But they don’t already exist. So who will create them?
