When I use #Freerse or #Coracle, it's mostly just me talking to myself and the occasional reply, and otherwise radio silence. Feels almost like Dead Nostr. Very calm.
And then I go to #Primal or #Nostrudel and I've had 57 responses. 👀

Yes Primal is really nice for this little notifications. Sometimes you think Nostr is quiet but it's a lie 😅
It can be a real shock. I like chilling on Freerse because it's so calm and contemplative and feels almost like private chats.
But then I switch clients to use some exotic Nostrudel-only functionality and it's like, whoa. Sometimes five rows of reactions and 4 quotes and 8 zaps and...
And the whole time, I was like,
Example, from just now. Same note, Freerse vs Nostrudel.
And Nostrudel doesn't include the reply count in the OP, anymore, so you can't see that someone replied. So, there's less incentive to click on it.
Example Nostrudel vs Coracle
And Coracle had only 2 ♥️ listed, until I opened up the note by clicking it, so that it refreshed. Then it jumped from 2 to 17. 😂
This is why I am legit surprised to see my stuff on trending lists because it's like,
Hold up. Y'all saw that? I had no idea anyone even saw that. 😂
🤔It may be related to the relays you added. I see that you added very few relays. So you can't receive replies from many other relays. Primal can see all messages because it has a cache relay that pulls all data. You can add a few more commonly used relays on Freerse to receive all replies. For example: wss://relay.nostr.band wss://eden.nostr.land wss://relay.damus.io
The screenshot below shows my Freerse adding commonly used relays. You can see all replies, likes, and zap data.
I have band and land, already.
