I'll probably be the bad guy for saying this, but nostr's problem isn't discovery. we have 18k daily active users, god damn it. the real issue is bringing in new users and actually keeping them. im attaching two charts for reference: daily active and 30-day retention %.
when we start getting 20–30k new active users every day and actually keep them in the platform, follow packs might make sense. but right now you're trying to solve a future problem that doesn’t even exist yet.
Lot has to to with usability.
New users can get in, but have a huge wall to climb, every cool feature or thing, even something as basic as zapping, is rather complicated ...
I had to redpill myself, complete a Simple Bitcoin App course to understand the logic and mathematical precision behind Bitcoin. I had help from random users on Nostr including devs who worked tirelessly to solve my bugs or issues. Understanding npubs, nsecs, relays, NWC and seedphrases takes a while for sure but once you start manufacturing your own cold storage Safu Ninja backups at home, you understand that fiat is dead. I'm all the way in Africa, and if I can go through this process using a desktop and a smartphone, anyone can do it.
Users are not using their brains to create innovative projects to earn hardcurrency, they will come around.
