I posted this squirrel photo in identical form on Rednote / 小红书 and it still got more engagement, despite being an identical post on both platforms, and despite me having more than twice as many followers on nostr.

The snowy car pic I posted after the squirrel was a similar experiment, with fitting hashtags for each platform instead of a purely identical post, and it also got more engagement on rednote.

The same applies for everything so far. I always get way more engagement on rednote. We'll see if it lasts.

I still get little to no engagement on nostr despite being on nostr for over a year, with this npub having thousands of regular posts, hundreds of NIP-54 wiki entries, some NIP-23 articles, music edits I've done, videos, who knows how many hours grinding on Primal trending feeds and the asknostr hashtag.

The only people who seem to get engagement on nostr are spammers, people who do shit like add the asknostr hashtag for no reason to their meme posts. Meanwhile, I actually could use mentioning the asknostr hashtag as a reason to add it here, but instead I remembered to mention it without adding it, since I don't actually have a question.

Nostr users so far are too dumb to notice me contributing at a higher quality level and boost me past the level of the pure-spam-quality engagement farmers that are at the top of Primal trending feeds every fucking day.

I'll try to build up my Rednote account to the point where it has so many followers and consistently gets so much engagement, I can use it to lead people to nostr. I'm pretty sure that won't be allowed, and this engagement I'm getting won't last long. But it's worth a try.
