Nostr Web Client

Brazilian guy complaining that Nostr is monothematic and that he doesn't get many followers in comparison with his other social networks:

Although I disagree with his tone and his expectations, I agree that Nostr being monothematic is a very bad thing. I'm hopeful it will improve over time and there are some initiatives pushing us for that, but still it is undeniably a bad thing and probably the first reason why we're losing to Bluesky in number of users.

Another bad thing are these follower counts. These counts should have never been a real thing, they are misleading and just confuse people, but what can I do about them?

I agree with the monothematic problem, it is probably the most common complaint of nostr.

I quite like the example of zbd, a client-community which defaults to its own community as the main feed. Although it it would take quite a dedication for a community to make their own app it is at least possible and perhaps makes more sense than a relay/ 'community' (for now at least).

Could then have the option of following these 'clients' even.

Obviously I have no idea what I am saying and I'm being uncharacteristically optimistic.

The ZBD community is a relay community: https://coracle.social/relays/nostr.zbd.gg

I seee👀👀 I find it all a bit confusing as a causal non-dev user lol, but I quite like their setup as a client and I can see why a community could potentially copy it.
