I have noticed that some people that joined a while ago are saddened to see that "interaction farming" on Nostr just isn't a thing.

That's because this is not how Nostr works. Sure, you see a Trending tab in Primal and such; and what you see in there are usually devs or very "famous" people. Things don't get pushed around by an algorythmn - "farming" interaction is hard work.

Be consistent, be there, and interact yourself. Get your mind out there, and expect things to take a while. Sure, even I do look at my follower count and how my interactions have been - but mainly because I am not "used" to get a lot of it in the first place; I am just a random dude after all :) And yet, seing how some of my posts have landed a lot of them makes me very, very happy.

On Nostr, you don't get fame by gaming an algorythmn. Instead, you find loyality by being social, I'd say. Though, admittedly, this is still a rather poor phrasing.

Patience is a virtue, after all. :)

Thanks to everyone who has interacted with me!
