I’m genuinely curious—how do some people on NOSTR grow their following to tens or even hundreds of thousands in just a few years? Is it just consistency, or is there something more to it? I’m here to share quality content and connect with like-minded folks, but I also want to feel like what I’m doing here really matters, and it feels like a waste of my time some days. Not always, but some days!

I never look at how many followers i have (technically it’s not really possible without some incorrect centralized indexer).

Follower counts don’t matter. What does matter is meeting cool people and genuine interactions. I think we need to de-program people from the idea that follow counts = status or measure of quality.

Count how many honest discussions you have a day when you are active.

yes~! authentic discussion ^^

though, sometimes i like silly interactions :3

higher follower count is often conflated with interaction. maybe that's where op is coming from..?

I actually know where OP is coming from.

While I’m unapologetically me here, but I also have to read into the signals about where I’m providing value.

While I definitely don’t think anyone owes me their attention, it is a 2-way thing meaning, if I follow you, I reply thoughtfully to you, and I never get any sort of acknowledgment that I even replied (doesn’t necessarily have to be a follow), then I will also unfollow you because we have asymmetric engagement, and I don’t owe you my attention either. 🙂
