If we truly want to grow #Nostr, I think we all need to work at bringing more interesting people onboard.
Work on bringing the ~5 people you appreciate most from X or Bsky or other communities, it will widen the appeal of Nostr a lot, especially if they have interests beyond JUST bitcoin/privacy etc.
We need more weird people
we are all here, if you want to bring your friends do it privately, or semi-public
I deleted the account on X
on bluesky they are busy, they are migrating PDS https://pdsmoover.com/
I think we must start by providing content that are only available at nostr
I don't disagree. That's one reasonfor zapping everything I see with value.
we’ll be working on tools for this 🫡
that’s why i said this.

Only really here on Nostr, tried Twitter but got old quick... Never even looked at Bluesky, just heard of the name. Shrugs, sorry!
Sats waiting for them to claim nostr:nprofile1qqsxcfa94gptw6wxk50a0mwcp3djrwd6xtqkmyfm90ywzctlk3tndqqpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ezuemfwf5kumewdaexwqg5dp68gurn8ghj7mmxve3ksctfdch8qatzgw3qxw
On the other hand, more normies will bring the creators. Great posters are aware of the audience and influence game, and the size available to them on platform does factor in! I watched many accounts who tried to come over here but went back to X because ghost town effect.
hi -- we were trying to zap you -- but it looks like you haven’t set up a NIP-05 or ⚡ lightning address yet — grab one free at https://rizful.com .. then pls reply here and we will try zapping you...
Audience definitely matters. As a creator, for the content you post, where is the audience for it? That's where the creator will be.
We need to address both somehow
I got one so far, proving more of a challenge than I thought
We have managed to bring quite a few already.
onboarding fellow Kenyans 🇰🇪 🫡 and showing them means to earn more than minimum wage on nostr #v4v
Have started dm'ing my favorite accounts on X - their posts are too good to be doing for free
Additionally, I think connecting with large content creators would be great. They've seen firsthand the impact of de-platforming and de-monetization, and if they knew a solution existed I'm sure they'd use it.
Even they simply posted across platforms as a form of insurance that's a win too.
It's 100% worth it to get a big time streamer or content creator here.
To join is one thing, to stay is another.
Getting people to join can be done in many ways, and i think the internet privacy hell in the uk has opened alot of eyes and ears.
Making them stay demands that they are on a need to know basis, and in my opinion, also feel that their «social media» needs are partially fulfilled, aswell as early on get exposed to the unique qualities to nostr ie. Zaps and anonymity.
And on the tail end, do we want everyone? Open question.
Either way, agree with your message and hope i can do my part in onboarding those in need/want⚡️🧡
I'm telling you, we need more yarn people :D
That month I created my account simultaneously to the following social media: X, Threads, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Nostr clients.
My content is nature and wildlife,.not original content ofcourse, but non political (so there is no ideology here) and for all ages appropriate.
The differences that I see.
👉 X: very difficult to make followers, a lot of (porn) bots, very difficult to have likes, super difficult to have comments.
👉 Threads: more approaching feel, less bots, easier to have likes and comments, followers are really interested in your stuff, people are getting super angry with sensitive material. My most viewed/commented/liked thread was about this trophy hunter who get killed from a buffalo. It was really tempting to post similar material to get easier followers but I resisted 😅
👉 Instagram: although my material is not mine (not original) I didn't think I would have success there. On the contrary, likes are ok, difficult follows, no comments.
👉 TikTok: a playground. The easiest social media to gain followers, likes like rain and full of comments. There is nothing like that in the market.
👉 YouTube: haven't posted yet.
👉 Nostr: well, it's (still) weird.
There is no engagement. What I mean is that personally I love nature from a kid. I don't do it exactly for *money*. I m doing to pass my time. There one only account on Nostr who publishes similar material, so you can't take ideas from here. You have to look elsewhere. Some likes here and there, less comments, and a notion that the follows are out of ..
pity 😅.
There is this thing that you cannot have exclusive username, except if you pay for Primal. And if I was a big like social media brand I would feel awkward about that. Apart from all the other difficulties with the clients - especially the fact that there are no help guides for the clients/apps and you have to spend a lot of time and read to get the grasl of it.
So yes, it's interesting what is happening here, but because it's different, I mean the place should be full of tutorials and help guides. In the contrary you really have to dig and find "proposed" relay set ups and such.
Relays 😅 yeah , that thing. I m reading also that you have to be aware of who owns the relays, but how on earth to know that?
Guys, you still have way to go.
Brought my girlfriend on. She barely knows about bitcoin but is big into the world of books, writing and crafting. This is a huge area on youtube, insta, tiktok etc...
Agree with this sentiment. We need to get interesting people who create in all the different areas of interest for people. The movement will grow
