Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🫂🤙🏻💜
Follower counts do not signal engagement. The real metric for engagement lies in the ratio of replies to notes created.

What’s a “good” ratio?
I'm not certain. They're probably slightly subjective too as each person will have their own interpretation here. At least a 1:1 is probably the absolute bare minimum, but to me that seems incredibly low. If I'm getting 10 comments on a note, I will reply to most people.
I think this is somewhat gamed. When bitcointwitter people do their token 'my latest bit of self promotion for the expats on here' posts on nostr they also make sure to do some monosyllabic replying too. They know what's up.
I guess then we move to sustainability? Do they do this in the beginning and then fall off once they've gained XXX amount of followers? Or do they continually engage? Time will tell.
Just post thirst traps bro.
Shit works for engagement 😂
It's not an engagement note. I try reply to every single person every morning on my GM and PV notes.
I commented on this topic this morning because I yet again see people concerned with follow counts, when these numbers are just made up and don't mean anything here on Nostr. They don't mean that someone is actively being social or engaging with others. It means a lot of people follow them or a lot of bots/spammers follow them 👀
I have about 1100 followers on Damus, about 1600 on Primal, and a completely different amounts on other clients I load.
At first it concerned me, made me wonder if it was a glitch or something, then I just let go of caring and gifted myself the freedom to post whatever I wanted and just “be” here
I agree, it’s great!
But getting to that takes time because we’re coming from the Fiat world, from legacy social media, we are numerical gauges of our success, reign supreme.
These are tough ideas to break.
It takes time, and we’re early … 🫶🏽
Beautiful. Well said.
Only a few more months and your Bitcoin baby will be here. You ready? Getting anxious? 🫂🫂🫂
I’m happier than I’ve been my entire life.
Can’t wait to meet this little girl! 🤗
Funny thing is that centralised servers are better, but it is a mission for them too:
Considering changing my name to Lyn Alden with this in mind. Seems a good way to get engagement round these parts, definitely beats doing music.
I dunno man. I'd love to hear some good music. What song are you most proud of? Do you have any on nostr:nprofile1qqszy58kj62v9fpe98nhuh0q76np4e0r0g0wd44rhth3wphdnyqjfzcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwashvmrpddjjucm0d5q3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kqurnrls or do you just stream on Zap.stream? Also, followed you back. I look forward to hearing some of your stuff.
This one is my band Liotia, my main project where I produce and co-write with the singer. Been slowly getting catalogue on Wavlake, especially since I’ve stopped using Spotify! Cheers Derek. 👊🏼
