Smaller user group here.. if you want more engagement, give more engagement first. Think less in โ€œfollowersโ€ and more in โ€œfriendshipsโ€.

Exactly

This always.

Lots of accounts who complain about engagement (not necessarily the quoted one) have it the other way around. Itโ€™s like theyโ€™re 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.

Yarn Trek. I never saw that episode ๐Ÿคญ

Captain Yarnlady is a handsome woman ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

I remember cap'n Picard ๐Ÿ˜‚

I forgot who I was and liked and zapped a couple of my posts ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

Ah, but this turtle is from turdsoup, so you know it must be good

Iโ€™m the queen on turdsoup

Excuse me, Iโ€™m a fuckin tortoise.

I donโ€™t have to be politically correct here, TURTLE

Donโ€™t make me call the misidentification gestapo on you.

I will turn that gestapo into gazpacho and have a yum fest TURTLE

Iโ€™m getting the on the phone right now, make sure you save me some sounds delicious.

๐Ÿ˜‚ I will put it in the instapot and selected โ€œkeep warmโ€ ๐Ÿค

Ooooo throwin' around that instapot knowledge ๐Ÿ˜†

You caught that? Nice ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Yep. The goods are always in the comments ๐Ÿคฃ

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

Iโ€™m around, I saw your comment I know youโ€™re working hard I hope you know the comment wasnโ€™t 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

You need to be street smart in here. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Pretty much ๐Ÿ˜‚

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚

Itโ€™s 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.

I love it! Yes!

frensss...

Comment first, post later. Always be chattin'.

This. I'll always remember you because of awesome country music chit chat ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ˜‚ yes!! That was a great chat ๐Ÿซ‚.

I wish more people enjoyed the chit chat, but they come and put up one note and cry bc nostr sucks.

Dobby chat ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿซ‚

Yes!! And oatmeal stout chat โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿป

And River Monsters ๐Ÿ˜‰

Ahhhhh Jeremy Wade...๐Ÿ˜†

Am trying to put my lipstick on before heading off to work.

Iโ€™m giggling too much ๐Ÿ˜‚

Lol. So much fun has been had here with strangers from across the world ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿซ‚

I feel like i find the most interesting discussions (basically anything that isn't about bitcoin fixing something) when i use that rule.

Same

Keep talking ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ

Always. Especially with Noshole...๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ’œ

Aww shucks.

"I repost all the best memes from X. Why no engagement on Nostr?"

more frens ๐Ÿฅน

๐Ÿซ‚

true

do you ever decorate your doggies with outfits? maybe a bow tie on their head or tail?

Yes but it depresses them greatly and they immediately give up on life ๐Ÿ˜‚

lol wut

Anytime I put them in clothes or something, they just stop moving ๐Ÿ˜‚

nevent1qqswngl4r6n5xqq39pdg3qrdfzjaxz0nyhxancz4t0nf940kzym4huq6qetsl

I try to put bowtie on my cat but he doesnt cooperate willingly. Next time Ill taze him or paper spray his ass.

Fill up the bathtub and put all his favorite things in there

You mean all my clothes?!

Iโ€™m confused. Are we still talking about your cat or singing Nelly songs?

Its still my cat, he's the only topic worthy speaking of.

Love him ๐Ÿ˜‚

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. ๐Ÿ˜„
