Here on nostr there are no algorithms boosting your post for engagement, so you have to do it.
If you think it is a "good one" or pinpoints which content you make and you feel that to few people saw it, why not boost it?
It's better than copy and pasting a trending note by someone else to get some engagement and attention.
I’m more likely to do the latter and add my thoughts to that trending note.
I agree. with this. it's hard to see what everyone is thinking and saying sometimes due to not scrolling all the way down before getting distracted.
So, if someone does the work for me and reposts their good content from earlier, it's helpful.
Also, i'm becoming more comfortable with the "narcissistic" element of social media. Or perhaps it's the ego. if you don't throw yourself out there, how will anyone see you and respond.
each ego, "narcissistic instance of self" is like a little lightning bolt reaching out to other neurons to figure itself out. test a hypothesis, do some learning.
as the mleku once said, "everyone has some Cernunnos in them".
and as the great grandpa used to say "if you know you're good, say you're good'.
