Smaller user group here.. if you want more engagement, give more engagement first. Think less in โfollowersโ and more in โfriendshipsโ.

Exactly
This always.
Lots of accounts who complain about engagement (not necessarily the quoted one) have it the other way around. Itโs like theyโre screaming into the void, waiting for a nonexistent algo to pick up their notes and bring them to us
I posted a bit and lurked for 3-4 months before I finally just started commenting on people's notes, then people started talking back and forth and I realized that was where nostr shines. Real people (for the most part) just looking to discuss random things. I always try to tell the newbies to engage, engage, engage.

Engagement is for algo bros.
Scream into the void who cares if someone hears you. Manifest reality not engagement.
And never let a turtle tell you what to do ๐
Ah, but this turtle is from turdsoup, so you know it must be good
Iโm the queen on turdsoup
Excuse me, Iโm a fuckin tortoise.
I donโt have to be politically correct here, TURTLE
Donโt make me call the misidentification gestapo on you.
I will turn that gestapo into gazpacho and have a yum fest TURTLE
Iโm getting the on the phone right now, make sure you save me some sounds delicious.
turtle, i came looking for you last week on corny about a comment you posted and i couldn't find you, where'd you go
Iโm around, I saw your comment I know youโre working hard I hope you know the comment wasnโt directed at you but rather the wider bitcoin development community being represented by loud voices.
Its unfortunate loud obnoxious voices dominate the conversation and represent hard working devs like you so poorly.
Somos una hermosa comunidad asรญ , prefiero que no lleguen scammers ni tampoco shitcoiners

Sound advice from the CoV
I #find #following #hashtags helps find #people to #engage with and I use hashtags so they can find me.
I gave up on hashtags because of bots ๐
Itโs like a high school dance.
Gotta walk up and talk to people to get out on the dancefloor.
Once you chat it up with some folks, #nostr works smooth like butter.
Precisleyyyyy
This. Pay attention to this advice if you are new to Nostr.
Its about building those relationships, and not just expecting it to be handed to you.

frensss...

Comment first, post later. Always be chattin'.
This. I'll always remember you because of awesome country music chit chat ๐
๐ yes!! That was a great chat ๐ซ.
I wish more people enjoyed the chit chat, but they come and put up one note and cry bc nostr sucks.
Dobby chat ๐ฅฐ๐๐ซ
I feel like i find the most interesting discussions (basically anything that isn't about bitcoin fixing something) when i use that rule.
Same
Aww shucks.
"I repost all the best memes from X. Why no engagement on Nostr?"
Great take! I never saw it that way, even though it's actually obvious. Make connections, not followers.

true
do you ever decorate your doggies with outfits? maybe a bow tie on their head or tail?
I try to put bowtie on my cat but he doesnt cooperate willingly. Next time Ill taze him or paper spray his ass.
The vast majority of social media are algo bots, sales pitches and a waste of time......its no surprise people are using it less.
here on Nostr at least we can have silly conversations and make friends
No bots engagement farming here. Gotta be authentic and gotta give a little to get a little.
Well, I'm used to talking to myself. ๐
