I wonder why engagement on #nostr just never picks up

Lost around 200 followers and barely get a blink at a post….

Fair enough I spose…. How many users are on Nostr?

I’d say Jacks account has 250k followers

So I’d say around 200k users?

Anyway, continue #bitcoin

But maybe not using social media anymore…. Assessment needed

Why care about the followers? Just be yourself on #nostr and have a good time. #makenostrweirdagain

There is a saturation of Bitcoin content and sub critical mass for other topics at the moment.

I don't mind bitcoin content as long as it's not about the price.

Yeah, me either. But getting engagement on a Bitcoin post is difficult because there is lots of competition. You have to be really good to get engagement. On other topics they will likely be a miss with most people. A nostr based Reddit would probably help, but that didn't seem to stick when it was tried. Probably just needs time to iron out bugs and reach more people.

I unfollowed anyone who posted more than 3 bitcoin notes in a row. Theyre so boring. When I respond to those guys I get a canned response. They're basically bots.

As for reddit. What's wrong with hashtags?

Hard to search which ones to use. If you make it plural you are not following half the group. There are plenty of alternative words. If you know a hashtag it's ok, otherwise you are stabbing in the dark.

This can be fixed with a simple crawler bot.

I sometimes wish we didn't have follower counts. They're mostly bullshit anyway.

As for engagement, that's hard, but you have to put in the work too. PoW wins here.
