If you comment, zap or boost; I'm following you! I think boosting is the best way to get the information out there. Zaps create the incentive for more similar content. Comments are great feedback for improvement and starting a dialogue. A lonely like let's me know you saw it but it wasn't worth zapping. I use likes as a way to acknowledge receipt of a comment in threads as well. It's interesting how the options for interaction are creating a sort of nostr language for me.

Same im not following people that aren't going to engage.
new here. what's a boost?
It's the same as a retweet on Twitter essentially. I'm not familiar with many of the clients but on amethyst boosting broadcasts the note to all your followers helping to give the note more reach. This helps spread high signal much more quickly. Unlike centralized platforms that have algos to push content nostr is totally based on users sharing with their personal networks. Boosting is cross pollination.
What’s boost and what’s zap? 🙈
Boost is like a retweet. It rebroadcasts a note to all your followers. A zap is sending sats.
Interesting
