Wow, a lot has changed in the past few days. Here, people are really moving away from "likes". It's very noticeable.

As an Amethyst user, I'm even decreasing my like frequency
The like was a free metric created for the centralized economy platforms to mine our data, sell it and sell to us. Now we trade value 4 value.

I’m new to Nostr. What is the alternative to Likes here on Nostr?
First of all you should set up your wallet, people here send micro Bitcoin transactions to each other. We call them ZAPs.
If you need any help let us know
I think I got it set up. :)
So are people sending sats instead of likes?
They only send sats here.
You can do that. Or comment, or repost their note. Or multiple.
Yeah, like this
I think I’ve got it. Thanks for the quick reply and assistance. 👍
You learnt pretty fast, nice
Can everyone see how much was zapped on a Note? Or is that only viewable to the author?
Everyone can see that
One more question. If I zap a reposted note, who gets the zap? The OP or the reposter?
OP, but you have to look at it properly sometimes their can be two zap icon for both reposter and OP
That’s friggin dope. So if something “goes viral”, then the OP can get all the Nostr cred?
There is no algorithm for boosting content to make it go viral, but yes, if you "boost" a note, all engagement goes to the OP. If you "quote" a note, the users who see your quoted note can engage with either the OP's note or your quote note or both of them.
