Do you think it is possible for content to go viral on Nostr?
Discussion
Might take some time but it’ll get there.
Yes 👀
not enough network effect yet
Brilliant question 💜
Maybe Joe Rogan’s first post could go viral, just as an example 🤷♂️
Depends on what we mean by viral
not that viral as centralized platform aiming to fuel fights
100% if non KYC, non custodial P2P DEX is functioning with out anyone's ability to stop it.
Yes.
Might need some basic algos..
Content goes viral when an influential personality drives it due to its number of followers or the quality of its content. At some point some celebrity enter Nostr and with it millions of followers
Yeah. Virality is just a right combination of people boosting a thing.
We don’t have a trending algo so it largely depends on who is boosting - need people with most reach to boost the most appealing note.
Guaranteed, eventually
Is there a way to know how many active npubs are using it?
I think that it takes some time, but it will eventually get there.
s curve adoption. only a matter of time. TL;DL=yes
Yes
I prefer a chronological timeline personally but hard for things to go viral as quickly with some algorithm pushing it, I do think I would like an option to scan popular post of the day in a separate tab sometimes but then begins the whole question of who decides what’s popular…?
Totally, especially content spread through other social media networks…love that sharing was built in to Damsus and Coracle so quickly
100%, but it will be less common because genuine virality is less common than algorithm-boosted virality.

Absolutely yes when all the stars are aligned
Wouldn’t it be relay-dependent?
Yes, and it's up to you and us to spread the word. We recently tried to set up an anonymous account on Twitter to preserve privacy. But Twitter suspended the account without offering any reason. If we don't act, we will live in economic slavery...
