I was thinking that too.

How do messages work? Send me a note of message that someone follows me and then make me update the note3 with my followers list.

My point is intitially to push a notification or something that is direct to me, is that possible?After the direct note we can update our note 3 with followers. Unfollow also does the same thing, they update their note3 with new lost + a private ping to me. There will be problems with this approach.

When i think more this will not work, i can simply update my note3 to boost my followers lol

See, I am very new and you seem knowledgeable i am just jabbing my points here.

Much love to you ya. I like learning this way when someone attempts to explain. Thankyiu

Right? Anyone would be able to inflate their follower count, unless it required some signed proof from the person who followed you before you could add their npub as a verified follower.

Either way, it would all be unnecessarily complex and would still be just an approximation. Knowing how many people follow you really isn't important outside of an approximation anyway, and the current system is good enough for that.

Who you follow is WAY more important than who follows you. Any random npub can follow you, but who you follow, and who they follow, can be used to build web-of-trust based discovery tools and algorithms to surface content that is specifically catered to you. Likewise, to display your content to people who would be interested in seeing it.

Don't feel bad. It can take some time to get traction here, and I sometimes still feel like I am shouting into the void. lol

Just to put things into perspective:

vs

I have been around the block for a while here. Notice the amount sent vs received, too. Just means I have found what others have posted to be far more valuable than what others have found what I have posted, but that's to be expected. There's a lot more of them than there are of me. lol

Also, your journey as a Nostrich usually starts with needing a lot more help from other users to figure this whole thing out, resulting naturally in more outgoing zaps. Then, when you are the one who has the knowledge to help others, you start getting more zaps your direction.

My "First Active" date is a bit off, because I imported my Twitter posts at one point, and it kept their original timestamps. I didn't join until December of 2022 when nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgsyrcvv9 first started promoting Nostr.
