ok i’ll bite. nostr feels absolutely dead. it’s not just me. a lot of accounts i try to keep up with are constantly posting and getting almost no engagement. maybe it's time to be honest and actually think about whats going wrong instead of trying to create fake hype. there i said it.

There is a lot of lurking that doesn’t show as engagement, and the incentives on nostr hit differently than getting fake engagement on legacy. Might only get one or two people replying or zapping your posts and it still feels more valuable than 100 legacy likes, or “impressions”

What would be needed for it to “not feel dead”? More people signing in? More people nor passively scrolling but engaging?

legacy social media has taught people to be passive eyeballs, trying to wake people to true engagement is where we’re at.

Am i wrong?

all sounds great but no user growth. no new faces, no new thoughts. there is a big discoverability problem but it’s directly correlated to user growth of course. bottom line is i don’t want to see the same fuck faces with 50 likes on 24hr trending evry time they post.

that’s one of the few reasons i never use the 24h trending 😅 always the same 10 people

i have faith things will pick up, new users can come in through different avenues of all of nostr’s “stuff” 😊
