I try to post things regularly but I have to consciously do it. I come from the era before influencers and have little need for that sort of attention. European train travel sounds interesting!
We need more non-Bitcoin and non-Nostr npubs. It doesn't matter if you post once a month. Whatever idea you have, even if it's of no relevance to me, I will follow and repost you. We complain about retention, but not everyone lives for Bitcoin and Nostr, and life is much more than this.
You can reply to this post with your niche npub, if you already have it. If you don't have it, bookmark this post and reply after you make your first post.
I'm thinking of making a new npub dedicated to European train travel, which is pretty much of no interest outside of my house. But I like to search for routes and travel by train, and if I get 1 Sat/post, I'll call it a side hustle. 😂
I also have nostr:nprofile1qqsffdel88t38774axlvpr8fsp27076jhcd3rg7jxwrrquj2jc7wnlcpramhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucnfw33k76twv35hxarjd93hgtn0wfnszxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9en8yet9wpkxzcm99ehxcjt9sz8, if you want an example.
Discussion
I'm also an old fart so I get you. Right now, I'm looking for niche accounts, non-influencers, so to speak. I believe in the importance of Nostr, but it needs a lot of other stuff to attract people.
I totally agree.
I used Reddit from 2008 til 2015 and really got a lot out of all the subreddits from fermentation and bushcraft to photography, knolling and Eli5, then when I got into Bitcoin twitter made sense because I could see what the smartest people were talking about and could also learn about finance.
I left Twitter early in the year because Nostr began to fulfill both of those needs.
I find niche communities through search’s and hashtags and looking profiles of people who respond in interesting threads.
How are you thinking about sharing train journeys? Through text or images or both or neither?
Some pictures here and there won't hurt anyone but I want to begin with generalities. For example, on Wednesday, SNCF (French railway) starts the ticket sale for January 9th to March 29th. I could write a little about that and add a few examples, maybe even suggestions for lower prices.
The train system that I know best is the one in Austria, where I live, and I can provide tips for reducing the prices, routes, etc. Then, the ones I use most, outside of Austria, are from Italy and France.
Sounds good!
