I’ve gotten #[2] to join, but that’s my only success so far. My real-life friends are mostly all on Instagram and Facebook, so this is still waaaay too big of a leap for them.

Don’t give up! Haha
We got our friend #[5] signed up, too, but that was pre-zaps, so I’ll work on her more next time I see her. 😅
My missus kinda gets it but hasn’t had enough interest to check it out. But I’ve heard a lot of complaining about all the ads popping up on insta recently, so I might have to start some sort of campaign among my friend groups soon.
Instagram is slowly turning itself into tiktok and it’s not appealing to me at all.
I barely go on ig anymore, unless supporting friends really quick, they really ruined it
Pretty much where I’m at, too. Same goes for Facebook.
FB marketplace is all I go on there for now
I wonder who will make the best NOSTR Marketplace? :)
Now that would be something!
Looking forward to it!
Even that has gone to shit, though. My local marketplace feed is at least 50% scams, ads, or bait posts.
Oddly I find myself on FB regularly these days as they dominate for private local community groups.
If trying to embed in a rural barter economy it’s (unfortunately) still invaluable.
For me it’s organising events with friends (birthdays, housewarmings etc).
It’s still the easiest way to reach the maximum amount of people and pretty much the only reason I still have an account.
