How to increase your chances of being followed on nostr:

Tldr; don’t look like a bot

- Have a filled out profile (profile image, bio that’s not fake)

- Post an intro note

- Be active, engage with other notes

- Be geniuine, no one likes fakes

- Post notes and not just boost stuff

- Have something thoughtful to say, or funny, or anything that’s not insulting.

- Stick around, takes time to get noticed

- Share things about yourself

How to decrease your odds of being followed: Exact opposite of what i just said.

I wonder what percentage of follows are bots. The specific number isn't really relevant here. Just something I've wondered.

🤷‍♂️

Could not give a rat’s about followers. I come for the information.

Nothing wrong with that. Majority of people fall into this category

Well, im screwed on the insulting part..

Sarcasm and insults make up a 60/30 split of my personality 🤣😁

That’s fine if you don’t want anyone to hear your sarcasm 🤣

-Provide value

I mean, I already have a shit load to do.. Don't really GAF about follows any who.. :P

Consistency is key. Just show up. It’s a great place just be patient and show up

Oh! And stop the copy pasta

Sounds exhausting lol, if you create value so the natural way will bring people to you

💯💡

Just keep it Thoro! Be real to yourself

I don’t have too many followers, but it is what it is…let the market decide if I’m interesting or not. 😂

Either way, I’m unapologetically me.

- Start shitposting

Good list,

I hate profiles that boost almost every single thing, profiles that constantly post memes all day, or profiles that post vidoes of funny things all day. X is filled with all those type of profiles.

Since Nostr is still quite small we most only have real people but I'm sure it's going to get bad once Nostr gets more popular.

I like following mostly only real people.

👀👀

Solid advice. Nostr is about real people connecting, not mindless engagement farming. Authenticity wins in the long run. Also, adding value whether through insights, humor, or unique perspectives makes you stand out. Quality over quantity always!

I don’t like this kind of notes, muted.
