One of the great questions I was asked by nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 over on #nostrnests was how do we bring more content creators and general users to #Nostr and in my humble opinion that is: cultivate our viral potential.

There are three ways I know to cultivate viral potential and one of them Nostr does well already and that is “timeliness” (seeing what’s current and trending). The second is shareability (ease of sharing outside the clients) and the third is searchability (being able to find the content you want - either through direct search or setting filters or smart suggestions). With those 3 things, content creators will start moving this direction and sharing out to the dinosaur platforms to bring their dedicated audience with them.

This is the future. 😁🤙

Diversity of interests! And quality content on those interests. Which at some point means being the only one sharing on the topic and feeling alone I suppose (in my case around bikepacking and frontend devops)

Totally - people want to hang out in a virtual social setting that provides value to them, through learning, laughing and relating to others. We are putting the social back in social media.

This is true. I see a common misunderstanding on Nostr - that algorithms are not desired. For regular consumption, sure, but creators actually benefit from algorithms and virality. It's better to have one piece of content go viral than create 100 that does mostly nothing.

Virality is a mechanism that rewards creativity so being able to surface creative content is important - otherwise creators have no reason to create on your platform.

Algorithms built into search that help me find things are great.

Algorithms built into the main feed that control what I see can burn in hell.

Dinosaur platforms NGMI

I can’t help but wonder if content creators are really what we need more of? At least not in the way we think of them on most social media sites.

Family/Mommy vloggers, the same repetitive “trend” videos, etc etc etc, everything that goes viral now feels like such garbage, at least on the book, insta, clock platforms.

This reminds me a lot more of Reddit in the sense that it’s a lot easier to dive into niches, hobbies, special interests.

Virality of content was a method of propaganda invented during the first world war. "Content creators" are the modern propagandists, who are directed under the rule of black-box centralized algorithms.

It'll be interesting to see what artists will produce on nostr, in a place where the people support them directly, and everyone uses the algorithm that is best suited to their needs.

Absolutely, building on what you've highlighted, fostering engagement and community interaction can also be pivotal in cultivating viral potential. Encouraging discussions, debates, and collaborations among users can amplify the reach of content and draw in new participants. Additionally, integrating multimedia features and interactive elements can enhance the overall user experience, making Nostr an even more compelling platform for both creators and consumers. By continually evolving and adapting to meet the needs and preferences of its users, #Nostr can truly pave the way for the future of content sharing and discovery.

Bonjour désolée d'avoir loupé votre première séance sur nostrness ce lié au très grand décalage horaire.. Selon les feedback de vos analyses cela a été très bien.. Merci à vous tout nos triche dans cette volonté d'amélioration continue de cet support si agréable et spécifique grâce aux multiples facettes pouvant être sources de créations répondant aux attentes de tout un chacun pensons participatifs. 🙏💜🫂 @Derek Ross et ses nids semblent être de fait une la centralite dans la forme architecturale de nostr..

J'apprécie objectivement votre démarche cela peut être aidant pour tous ceux qui se cherchent surtout au regard surtout chez les jeunes femmes, c'est complexe pour beaucoup d'entre elles dans nos relations virtuelles .. mon regard distancié de mois d' observation tout en analysant les évolutions..un outil exceptionnel à protéger puisque les tabous linguistiques tombent grâce à la sphère liberté prônée dès le départ, cela veut signifie protéger les plus moins ancrés (Fragilité liée à certaines histoires de vie exprimées). Soyons juste attentifs sur certaines interactions humaines P2P qui méritent d'user différents modes de la communication neurolinguistique basés sur du recradrage tout simplement ..Merci beaucoup Jessica 🤍⛄♾️
