People often complain that #nostr is dead and they are posting to the void. You can't expect a nobody to get tons of likes and followers out from the start. You gotta put in the work, and time.

Try include tags in every note of yours, this helps random users discover your content. Also (this is a big one), focus on providing quality posts, instead of "gm" spam (i can't figure out why that shit is so common). Good notes will attract new followers, but if all you post is "good morning" non-sense, people might not be interested in following you.

Keep posting interesting stuff, avoid "gm" non sense, use tags, show #proofofwork – and watch your follower count slowly grow!
