If anyone tells you that nostr "is just a twitter clone" tell them that it's either their client or that they're being ignorant. Right now the nostr interoperable eco-system brings together many aspects of the legacy web while solving the internets "bounce issue" and the need to have accounts across a multitute of platforms, just to follow one creator or topic.

* This is why I call nostr "a creators business in a box"

* For streaming we have zapstream

* For videos we have zapstream and flare

* For music we have Wavlake

* For audio podcasts we have NostrNests

* For blogs (long-form posts) we have Habla and Yakihonne

* For X-alike short messaging we have notes

* To manage or grow your community we have NIP-72 Communities and now NIP-29 (imo superior to 72)

* For discord we have Chachi (still early but already looks like discord lite)

* For Instagram-alike content we now have Olas

* We also have NIPs for badges, emotes and fund raising (goals)

* (There is more inc zap.cooking and other apps / sites)

All of those can interoperate wich each other. You can seamlessly embed any of your content into any of your other content. Your community only needs ONE "account" to follow ALL of your content and with the right client, they can do that from within one app or one browser tab.

If you don't see the huge potential here for you to further grow as a creator while truly owning your content and your community then it's not nostr, it's you.

Side note, discoverability is also higher on nostr than across all of the legacy social media if you're just starting out as a creator. You'll need at least 1-2 years to gain exposure across Twitch, Medium, X, YouTube and co. On nostr, you'll be discovered instantly and the rest is up to you.

The interoperability is the *killer app* feature in my mind. I am surprised that people don't highlight this aspect more often. Zaps are nice. Decentralization is good. FOSS is good. Uncensorability is nice. Resilience is good. V4V is good. P2P is good. But interoperability seems to me to be the most groundbreaking component and one of the most compelling reasons to join Nostr.

yes

Plus how many people try Nostr and bounce without every experiencing that interoperability? Would be great if someone invested in an on-boarding experience that showcased this, you get your nsec and immediately sample 3-5 clients/apps in a controlled onboarding flow. And participating clients push potential new users to this umbrella onboarding experience.
