I suggested to my friend to join Nostr.
He feels there are currently either too many posts about Bitcoin or about various applications and updates of #Nostr itself.
How do we bring (and keep) new general public to Nostr who talks about life in general, and diverse topics related to art, business, emerging tech, health, research & education, social good, philanthropy, geopolitics, environment or sports etc?

This is probably the major dilemma currently.
*non-technical
I think the general consensus is that people will come eventually, that slowly this will change over time. Who knows. But yeah. I feel the same about inviting people here. They wouldn't stay. Sort of worth waiting a bit longer and see how things change...? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this doesn't have to be a place for everyone (yet). maybe it's even better. nostr is still a baby, it's fragile, learning things, still needs time to meet the big world full of traps.
just today i was thinking about nostr nests and clubhouse. what killed clubhouse was a bad strategy that worked like a magnet for quasi gurus, celebrities, coaches. the place was drained by them and left empty and sad. if i see a threat for nostr today it's getting some toxic hype. hopefully, can't happen without growth pumping algos.
Yes, there is a general idea that we are the guinea pigs or beta testers.
I don't know how network effects work, not if it is more marketing/magic/science or all these things lol. But could you not make the same case as you just made for clubhouse and put it on nostr? A group which (perhaps through no fault of their own) repels others? We are sort of seeing that now with comments about nostr.
Anyway, time will tell. The difference is that nostr is more and more over time not just a bitcointwitter clone. And has other platforms and use cases. Which may have more hope of getting traction outside of the current bubble.
I think there will always be this chatroom element tho. But maybe where we're chatting now will be a minority use in future? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
what's happening here makes sense. it's foss, and we're shaping its identity, future developments, etc. there's no central chief visionary officer so we could skip this part. i think general discussion is coming. just today i met three diff, passionate guys - a bike geek, a japanese artist, and an amazing photographer. all to share their things.
we should be patient, use the opportunity to be heard, and… keep sending notes!
