On twitter I had like 200 "followers" (read 3 humans) and never got interactions.
On nostr I first followed the people I was following on twitter (roughly, say 10-30?), and then interacted with a few posts, liking and following and occasionally zapping.
Already have more reactions than on twitter. (I know, "X")
Same case for me, but the reason for that is probably the fact that the amount of people here is orders of magnitude less, which makes your replies more likely to be seen/interacted with. I get that. But if Nostr is destined to scale to tens/hundreds of millions of people, it will be harder and harder for small accounts to even get any interactions and the incentive for them to stay wouldn't be here, the whole comment section will be filled with people begging to be noticed and the content would suck. If that is the case it will either implode because people would give up on trying to share their thoughts or it will become just a message board where popular accounts are interacting with each other and everyone else will be nothing but a content consumer.
Good point with the "drowning in the sea" for bigger overall user numbers.
I still think that - just as with now in the bitcoin subculture - there will be genres and groups that may be very interactive.
But I think people will either need to learn to find these betters (search, hashtags etc).
Or some opt in algos based on interest need to be developed in the future, I think.
Yeah, I might be wrong but at some point there will be a need for having an algorithm for some specific optional feeds, e.g. "Explore" as long as it is completely open source. I know the current paradigm is smart client/dumb server, but maybe some "smart" relays serving you notes after some some algorithmic (again, open sourced) processing could be useful, after all you are either interested in reading from them or not.
you don't even know how these things work drama queen
