There is currently not enough that attracts the average internet user to join & stay. I am on Damus right now and I find my timeline to be much less entertaining than X or IG.
We need more than just bitcoin talk, probably algorithms as well.

If you need a smooth timeline, you can try Freerse.
I avoid the "for you" tab on Xitter and IG I never wanted to use at all as yes, it's easy to feed a human with infinite amounts of stimuli but I don't want to be that human.
That said, nostr gets more engaging as you participate and add follows. Most clients by default show only your follows and as you start without follows ... that's dull ;)
“Social onboarding” will fix this.

Great work!
I logged in with extension and clicked on "go to invite" and it linked me to https://nostrmeet.me/leo@nostr.info which gave me an internal server error.
OK. That was just poor timing on my part … breaking the live app when trying to get “link previews” working this am … sorry.
Should be fixed now:
Feeds are coming. I think this could change things somewhat. You can also currently follow hashtags on clients eg amethyst. Add mute words and phrases to remove bitcoin slogans for eg.
I think feeds will help a great deal. Seems like they're around the corner maybe?
The network effects and breadth of content needs to be improved.
I agree, but that is a far more complex problem lol. Could take years, could never happen, especially with twitter being somewhat more hands-off.
I don't think nostr-as-microblogging will ever be its most successful implementation. We are currently just using a dev chatroom for the wider nostr protocol lol. That's how I see it anyway.
This isn't even nostr's final form. As they say.
