Nostr is less engaging than Twitter.
This is a feature. The death cult eyeball hooks that keep you doom scrolling for hrs on corporate platforms just don't exist in nostr. You hop on, check in, read a few interesting posts, then hop off and go touch grass 👌
💯
Check in and check out!
I was thinking the same thing. There’s no algorithm to generate a feed. On Nostr, the feed id your follows and the feeds you select.
You leave feeling nourished rather than anxious.
Hace mucho me pasa que cuando navego en nostr la paso muy bien, está el contenido que quiero ver, me divierte, no necesito X
eso es
Nostr is much more engaging than Twitter was when it existed
And infinitely more engaging than X
Nostr is freedom, big tech is slavery. it’s simple.
Feature, not a bug.
Nostr is truly a “social” network. Twitter, et al, are advertising machines.
Glued to the screen scrolling nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpp3mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsrrnrxl 😄
You will have to learn to earn that engagement here . Someone’s time may even be more precious than bitcoin. Nostr values that
Nostr is only less engaging if you pay Twitter's extortion fee. I don't, and I get almost zero engagement on Twitter.
Nostr is social media methadone to X's heroin.
But this wouldn’t last when (or if) Nostr goes mainstream
Agree
Hmm. It is less engaging (true), and thus you log in less often - and will miss a lot of posts, potentially some of the (few) really interesting ones.
I would love a For You algo feed on Nostr, then i can literally just check every few days and check what I missed
In amethyst it has "my follows" feed which is where I spend most of my time, as I can easily catch up.
It also has options for dvm feeds based on particular criteria
I also predominantly (well, only) use My Follows.
But if I only log in every few days I will almost certainly miss some interesting post from my follows -- which in turn raises "frustration" w nostr
I would totally use an algo feed that's just the popular posts and discussions from my follows since my last login
Exactly. Most shit on X has 0 signal and is filled with mind fuck but Nostr is still fairly new compared to X so lets see how thigs will go in 5 years.
I dunno. Twitter just feels more of the same
Nostr is better because of the people
This is a good reply to someone's recent question about the Daily Nostr User egagement (or something like that), here people check out few posts then go back to their work, trying to be useful, while the twitter power users work is often just being there trying to get others addicted
I understand that and I can feel it.
but there are some accounts / identities here spamming my feed with unfunny memes and bots. it kinda is annoying a little. don’t know how to block or mute them (i tried to mute with Primal, but so far the effect wasn’t great)
So good
Yes!!! Love that.
When freedom fades, resistance begins.
Nostr and Bitcoin are the revolution.
A more slow time preference to online engagement.
This is exactly what I do. I scroll what’s been trending the last 12 24 hours then go about my day
You feel different
And that user experience brings me back every time
I’m able to have multiple high-quality in-depth conversations with people all around the world simultaneously whenever I choose throughout the day
Incredible experience
A good client can improve this problem, such as introducing categories such as trending and hot。
一个好的客户端可以改善这个问题，比如引入trending和hot这种分类
Neat!
Exactly. Nostr’s lack of engagement traps is a strength, not a flaw. No endless doomscrolling or corporate dopamine hits. Just quick, mindful check-in with real thoughts, then back to living 😃
This is how I'm using it more lately, like checking in with family when I feel like it lol.
A global family chat.
You have more times to do the job you supposed to do . Build or create something or go to work if you’re government employee

Very true!
This really is true. Nostr is just engaging enough, but like nutritious food, you can put it down before you feel sick.
Advertising-driven revenue begets algorithms which are designed to hook you. Zaps aren't just a good way to incentivize contributions to the network, they're the only way to build an internet that isn't poisoning you.
So true, engineered to be non toxic to the mind.
Don’t learn that Nostr is quiet by design.
It doesn’t beg for your attention. It doesn’t hijack your emotions. It gives you space — to think, to breathe, to act. That’s what freedom feels like.
#nostr
I think this is what I failed to realize at first about nostr... I was expecting to experience a similar "attention grab" like Twitter, but it's just not there. Refreshing!
I also miss the announcements!
Why is it that there are no ads, if anyone can post?
