Many people external to Nostr perceive it as a single community of "crypto" or Bitcoin lovers.

People inside Nostr also feel like they're in a very warm and friendly "community" too.

One perception probably reinforces the other, and both damage the idea of Nostr as a neutral, open protocol that can accommodate any type of community.

The real issue is media hosting.

If you use primal you are limited with how much you can post.

If you use any of the other clients it's complicated for new users to figure out.

Once we get a video scrolling client with its own hosting nostr will explode with new users.

Until then the majority of people are going to think it's just some whacky twitter clone

Since media isn't hosted on Nostr, any censorship-resistant way to share media could and should help any decentralized platform, not just Nostr.
