I won't talk on nostr community as a whole, whether it is in a lull or not. I just want to speak on my own experience as this has been on my mind lately.

Me personally when I started on nostr a few weeks ago, it was fresh and exciting. I felt like there was always something new and was able to be on here for hours at a time, posting my own original content or commenting on others.

Then it all started to feel a bit samey. It was the same people talking about the same-ish things. I felt like things were slowing down. I refreshed and refreshed but nothing new and exciting was coming up.

I realized that I had fallen into the social media dopamine trap. If Twitter is soda, then Nostr is juice. Juice is better for you, but you still shouldn't have a lot of it. It's still a ton of sugar. I drank way too much of it way too fast and I was crashing.

These days, I'm on nostr less. I curate my feeds and follows to see what I want. My goal is to spend more quality time here but less time overall. It has worked out much better and makes nostr feel fresh every time I use it.
