#[0]: how might I find 40-50 or so non-btc non-nostr profiles that can be recommended to newbies joining Damus, as not to make newbies scared that nostr is for bitcoiners only
Discussion
Maybe search hashtags like #grownostr
#[3] is it worth it for an onboarding flow (as we were discussing in the NDK nest) to have some kind of group or community finding feature? 🤔
Yes, it’s important to have ways of helping people find their #nostrniche, otherwise they may not discover what nostr is about.

Add my vote for #grownostr. It's not a panacea, but it is aimed specifically to broaden the conversation to more than just bitcoin, so it's a good place to start
Not at all non-bitcoin and certainly not non-nostr since we are on and promoting nostr.....
But here's a list of folks who talk about homesteading, gardening, self reliance etc.....and bitcoin. On Nostr.
You can't protect a new user from nostr while also purple-pilling them. But I am with you on promoting content that isn't all bitcoin to give them something to work with.
No bitcoin, no nostr is no freedom understandanding for the newbies. Its a lesson they should learn to understand how things work.
Everyone's a Bitcoiner, some just don't know it yet.
People need to learn Bitcoin it's the biggest gift they do not yet understand.
It's not just #Bitcoin shills but a large spectrum related to #Bitcoin like austrian economics, economic psychology, praxeology and history of money they get exposed to for FREE.
No shilling of shady shitcoin projects and the utility of #Bitcoin can be experienced by anyone first hand through #Zaps.
You act like it's something negative and I prefer 100 #Bitcoin posts over this.
Just my two cents
Hashtags.
Perhaps Damus could incorporate frequently posted hashtags like #foodstr #carchain #photography #art etc to demonstrate that it's not just #Bitcoin related things posted here.
I try to post car content daily about unique and rare cars with some short factoids and some longer form content when time permits, sure a lot of the content is pictures, but their are other automotive related things too. Even with the pictures they are conversation starters or at least for me. We have a small community of car enthusiasts.
Nostr has content related to different things other than Bitcoin, the user just needs to try and use a common hashtag related to his interests.
