I keep seeing various reports on other social media platforms that Instagram is dying, from self sabotage, to less engagement, to more spam, more ads, and more censorship. This is an area where Nostr could shine, for the most part. We just need a friendly, scrollable, media focused client.

Teens keep talking about Insta and Snap all the time. Why do you feel it’s dying? Facebook is dying.
I don't use FB or Instagram, besides this past month for #NostrNovember. But I wouldn't really say that was me using those platforms as I only post and then leave. That said, the complaints about them dying all seem to be from the above issues.
I’ve been thinking about this too. Something totally dedicated to photos and video. We have chat (dm) only nostr clients. It would be good to have media only as well.
Agree. I like Amethyst's media fees only, but it only shows NIP-94 content, which doesn't include most images or videos.
Yeah. That would be really nice.
I also prefer that different type of posts should be as separate as possible.
For example if a post goes to an Instagram like app or long format, don’t show it to me on Damus. At least that’s a personal preference.
I like seeing long form blog posts in Amethyst, but I agree that a preference or a separate tab for them would be nice.
Who’s going to do image storage?
Hence my for the most part comment. This is what makes it complicated. Telling people that they should create an account on nostr.build or satellite.earth to be able to upload longer videos is a bad experience.
This is the way of all web2 platforms: build up a cool place to share content and start to extract value for shareholders at the expense of users.
The future is ours; the future is Nostr...
We are looking for active feedback. so if you wanna try something of this sort, please give it a try.
