An important thing I've come to learn about Nostr:

The advice to build up a huge follow list is wrong. Cultivating a list of people with good viewpoints and honest intentions is a much more valuable.

Follow people you interact with regularly who reciprocate your interactions with them. Follow for follow leaves you with a feed of low quality content, and a questionable list of follows riddled with possible bots and scammers.

It is true that this is more difficult initially than platform based algorithm driven social media, but leaves you with a much more rewarding experience.

The key to Nostr is honest human interaction, not legacy social media growth hacks to grow follower counts.
